World's Worst Mom

There are some doozies: Britney Spears (driving with kid
in her lap) or Dina Lohan (Lindsay's mom).

Heck, you might even think it's 'W's mom.

But my vote goes to the British Bozo who let her eight-year
old son get to 196 pounds.

And I don't mean pounds, as in British money.
Pounds, as in 'tonnage'.

The poor kid can't dress himself or tie his shoes. He weighs
four times more than he should. But he gets to eat whatever
he wants--he's the boss.

He's fat and happy; the mom's the dumb one.

She says he won't eat fruit or vegetables. I bet he would
if that's all there was to eat. And he got hungry enough.
Since he eats every twenty minutes, that shouldn't be a
problem.

I saw Cesar the 'Dog Whisperer' get a finicky dog to eat
his food in two days. Maybe we should call him in for help
with this one.

It shouldn't be that hard, really: Cesar said that wild dogs
work for their food. Dogs associate eating with activity/exercise.
Part of their hard-wired biology.

So he took the dog for a walk, and when the dog was a
little tired/hungry, let him eat. But he made him work a
little for the food (he had to catch it in his mouth--big deal).
A little change made a big difference.

I don't think it would be too hard to walk the kid around the
block, put some steak, carrots and apples on his plate and
wait 'til he got hungry enough to eat it.

The Dog Whisperer says he "rehabilitates dogs, but he trains
humans". This mom needs some training.

The mother insists that she loves her son. The doctor said
he didn't doubt that the mother loved her son, but the way
she was treating him was slowly killing him.

(I wonder if anybody said anything when he was only twice his
normal size?)

The social workers have come to 'an agreement' with the family,
and are allowing the child to stay at home with his mom.

The good news is that he's lost about 20 pounds since January,
after his mother got help from health workers and a dietician.

I would suggest that mom and kid both stock up on fish oil, too.

Since he's so overweight, his body is probably resisting his insulin,
which is keeping him fat and turning him into a diabetic. And all
the junk food he's eating is loaded with Omega-6 fats (which make
your cells stiff and inflexible).

The Omega-3 fats in fish oil will keep his cells flexible and more
responsive to insulin, keep his bloood sugar more stable, and
help him lose those excess pounds fast.

And he could start dressing himself again, and go play with
the rest of the kids. Like he's supposed to.

They say his mom is depressed, so the Omega-3s in fish oil will
help her mood as well. It also helps with thinking--maybe she
should double up.

Anyway, we're all feeding an eight-year old inside of us.
It's hard to feed that kid sometimes, because we've got so
many choices and there's so much emotion tied up in food.
We confuse food and love. And we love ourselves so much
we eat whatever we want to eat.

But your best chance to turn things around--to start respecting
and protecting your biology--is by getting more Omega-3 fats.

And the best place to get them is Concentrated Omega-3
Pharmaceutical grade Fish Oil.

Take Care of your Kids...

P.S. If dogs can do it, you can do it. Stay active, work a
little for your food, and if you think your kid's getting fat,
ask someone for a second opinion. I know what it's like:
I was a fat kid; I was also a fat adult. And I like healthy
better. No one said it was going to be easy. But it's easier
if you eat the way your body is designed to eat. Omega-3s
are what we need to stay healthy--heart, weight, bones,
mind--all the parts of that "complex, fragile chunk of meat
that is my body"...
