From Your Health Journal…..”An interesting article from People magazine about a Mother and her 7 year old daughters fight with obesity. The Mom just completed a book about this called The Heavy. The Mom’s mission is to let people know the difficulties in helping a child lose weight, to show it is not an easy task. To help her daughter Bea lose 16 lbs. from her 93-lb., 4’4″ frame, the Mom primarily focused on “reducing processed food, increasing fruits and vegetables, and getting a little more exercise. Please visit the People web site (link provided below) to read the heartwarming story.”

“There wasn’t a voice from a mom who had lived through this and been an imperfect but very loving and dedicated parent around the issue of childhood obesity,” Weiss tells PEOPLE.

“I wanted to be honest about the difficulties. I wanted people to know that this is a lot harder than conventional wisdom would have us believe the solution to childhood obesity is.”

To help Bea lose 16 lbs. from her 93-lb., 4’4″ frame, Weiss primarily focused on “reducing processed food, increasing fruits and vegetables, and getting a little more exercise,” she says.
