Dear Deanna!
My 8-year old son is fat and eats
too much. I try serving him small
portions o f food but he cries for
more because he’s hungry. He eats
like a grown man and gobbles plates
o f collard greens, pinto beans, ribs
and pies. How do I stop him from
eating so much and make him lose
some weight? -E a ts Too Much:
Tulsa, Okla.
Dear Eats Too Much:
Obviously you already know that
fat kids like cake. Since you're the
mother feeding him. this is more
than likely a problem you created
without knowing it. Before trying
to put him on a diet, visit your

Dear Deanna!
on the other side (hee. hee). When
My husband o f 7 years left me for she calls again, let her know in your
a y ounger wom an. He dogged me sweetest voice you appreciate her
and broke my heart but I’m over seeking your advice but you had
it. The problem is now with this enough drama from both o f them to
w om an. H e’s putting her through last a lifetime. Share some words of
the same dram a he put me through wisdom that if a married man cheats
and she calls me for advice. The on his wife, h e’ll cheat on anybody
first tim e I tolerated her because and keep it moving.
Dear Deanna!
Please help me settle this d is
pute. My sister had a baby a few
m onths ago and she still wears
halter tops that reveal her stom
ach. She has a lot o f stretch marks
but she still p ra n c e s aro u n d
thinking sh e’s cute because she
lost h er baby fat. W e arg u e
when I point out the fact her
stom ach looks nasty and flabby
a n d s h o u ld b e c o v e r e d up
but she d o e s n ’t listen to me.
Do you agree? - M ichelle C.;
Richmond. Va.
Dear Michelle:
your sister is com fortable with
her body and it d o e sn 't bother
her to put those stretch m arks out
there for the world to see, then
more pow er to her. It's not for
you to worry about. Just be pre
pared and waiting in the wings
with a tube of make-up when some
one hurts her feelings or em bar
rasses her in public.
