My fiance's son is very heavy for his age: about 120 pounds and 6 years old. I know what most of the problem is, overfeeding. He eats more than I do much of the time. Second helpings are the norm, even the first plate is more than I gave one of my children when they were 6. I have 3 kids, by the way. I have a couple of times expressed my concerns, but it doesn't seem to do anything. He simply excuses it by saying he is just going to be a big man. My fiance is 6'6". This kid has to hoist himself up off of the couch, and cannot run very fast, until you call him for dinner anyway. You could feed him, and 5 minutes later, he is saying that he is hungry. I worry about him, not because of the weight itself, but because of higher ris of illnesses. What should I do??
