Five-year-old
George Coleman,
from south west
London, has
improved his
health via an
exercise and food programme
devised by his mother, Sue,
and based on the advice of
their family doctor
'George was a really late
developer and didn't walk until
two years of age so he was very
chubby,' says Sue.
'I didn't really worry about his
weight until he started nursery
school and I could see that he
was a lot bigger physically than
the other children.
'I am partly to blame as,
being my first child, I didn't
know any better and gave in
to all his demands of extra food
helpings and snacks.
'George also went to a lot
of places in his buggy as my
nanny didn't have a car, so he
hardly got any exercise.
'Although he was very happy
in himself, I was terrified George
would be bullied if he remained
overweight once he started
school, so after discussing my
concerns with my GP, I began
preparing healthy meals.
'I also enrolled George in
swimming classes and football
lessons, which he went to after
nursery, to help him reach a
healthy weight for his age.
'Now he has started school
and has settled in well.'
