From Part One, Chapter 2
The Secret to Your Child’s Success
...If your child is overweight, and there is no medical reason for it,
now is the time to take responsibility. We want to believe that we have

think we encourage sufficient physical activity for them as well. I was
sure my child had a medical reason for being overweight, because it

influence a healthy lifestyle for your child. If you follow the Seven
Steps Plan it will work, but you must be completely committed. The
success of this, or any weight management program is the
responsibility of you, the parent, not your child...efinitely triggered
something in me. I was shocked that other people were labeling a little
girl of five as fat.
Until kindergarten, my child was surrounded by kids from our
neighborhood, her day care or nursery school. They accepted her just
as she was, and her size never came up. But when she started school,
there was a whole new set of kids, and some would make comments

changing in front of the other girls because she was fat. This was a
shocking moment for me, because now I understood that she felt
badly about herself, that she had been giving thought to her size, and
comparing herself to other children.
You would think this is where my story takes a dramatic turn, but it
still doesn't...
