my nephew is 7 now and maybe 55 pounds...cant get him to eat anything but he eats...i think he is heathy but i dont think he eats super heathly...my sister doesnt eat much anymore either she had a surgery where they cut out 60% of her stomach...i think she lost 100 lbs...i know she watches what her son is eating but i think he will be just like his dad..his dad every once in a while will actually try to gain weight...some kids are just lucky they wont be fat

on the other hand he has a freind Kira who has decided on her own since she was 3 that she was going to be a vegitarian...i was surprised cause her parents eat meat...i think she is 8 now and still a vegitarian...her parents played along with it in the beggining ...i think they had to pay attention to what thier very heathy child was eating way more than any one of us would...hey she knows what she wants to eat...i was just surprised a kid that young would make a decision that has lasted this long..but they also take her to the doctors and make sure she is getting the right food

when i was younger i was in competitive swimming, and swam 7 hrs a day if i wasnt doing weight training...i could eat whatever i wanted and loved carbs...now i still love carbs but my problem is beer....my doc just cut me off hahahaha...sometimes i wish i had the cash to go to mexico and have the same surgery my sister had...but i just like beer too much

i think its sad that they are split up..but it may be for the best if the mother cant feed him correctly...she may be able to learn and get him back...either way it is a wake up call...maybe she wouldnt act on his weight issues or thought it wasnt that bad...thats not good
