We were concerned about TJ's weight in preschool. His BMI registered as overweight, and he had a bit of a tummy sticking out. Our parents weren't concerned because he didn't "look fat," but I was surprised to learn that many overweight kids don't look overweight. I have never wanted to put him on a diet or anything, and I try not to use the word diet at all, but we did start him on a "healthy eating plan." He's done well with that for two years, and he's still loving his "green lights" plan even now that he's back to a healthy weight.
