Confrontation on eating

My son is my life. I love him to death, the only problem is that he has gained weight. I am afraid, that due to our family history, his weight might not go away as easy as it came.

When I try to talk to him about eating habits, he gets really frustrated and confrontational, almost like I am attacking him. I am trying to talk to him from a mom's point of view and the view of someone who has battled food.

He gets defensive and doesn't want to hear it, but he does.

I watch him, he is self-conscious, but also is just his quiet self. I don't want him to suffer like I did and I am completely at a loss on how to talk to him. I want him to be healthy and happy. I don't want him to go through what I have suffered with.

How do I confront him and talk to him without him getting so upset with me? I want him to understand that I am trying to help him.

Any suggestions for a mom in a corner... mentally...

Both my 15 year old son and myself struggle with weight. Help!!!!!

Weight

My son faces the constant battle of big-bodied family. I have tried to teach him about eating healthy. It has been tough. He has suddenly had an enlightened moment. He has made the decision to log his foods, exercise more, and even plan a healthy lunch. He knows how to look at nutritional values, etc.

I am so proud of him and support his decision.
