Reply #25: Sounds like a good time to talk to him

Since none of us are perfect you could explain some non confrontational responses if any of the other kids say anything about your weight to him. Something like, "Well, none of us is perfect." and walk away.

You could also talk to him about how hard it is to lose unwanted weight once it is gained. He could start to look at his own habits/health.

If your weight is primarily caused by diet and physical activity, you could talk to him about him starting to think about exercise and eating habits for his own health.

If your weight is primarily medical, it could be explained that we shouldn't judge other people because of their medical conditions.

Mostly it is a opportunity to talk to him about how nobody is perfect and he can either concentrate on the good things about people or the bad. It is his choice and if he chooses to look at the good in people, many more opportunities will be open to him in his life.

And OP, go read that book with peace and passion in your heart and you will be a hit with those kids.
