I just started a company and help overweight kids and teens to lose weight without dieting. Our focus is helping kids to create a natural relationship with food by connecting with their body and listening to their hunger and fullness cues. We also emphasize feeling fabulous at any weight and while losing and teaching kids how to handle their emotions in other ways besides with food. We notice that many of our clients (like I used to) overeat to comfort themselves, to deal with body dissatisfaction, to procrastinate, when they are happy and celebrating, because of boredom, because there are starving kids in the world, because they've been good all week, because everyone else wants them to eat, and for tons of other reasons as well.
Our mission is to reach as many teens as possible, but it seems that some teens are turned off by our site and think it is cheezy. What do you think? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
