I grew up as an obese child, and I know firsthand the pain, shame, and frustration that comes with it.

‍I remember the relentless bullying and the way my own friends laughed at me.

I remember decades of avoiding all social events because I hated how I felt in my skin and wanted to escape feeling judged.
‍

My parents, just like you, tried everything to help.

My mom went tens of thousands of dollars in debt bringing me to Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, pediatricians, dietitians, therapists and trainers—for me to lose weight and gain it all back over and over again.

The worst part? I believed something was wrong with me. My self-esteem was crushed every time another diet or program failed.

I truly believed that I was the failure. 

It took me decades to rewire my relationship with food and health. And now, after helping thousands of parents prevent their children from going through the same pain my family did, I’ve realized something critical:

‍The key to helping your child lose weight isn’t about them.

It’s about you.
‍

Most parents focus on getting their child to eat healthier and move more. While that’s important, it’s not the root issue.

‍Your child is simply mirroring you. If health isn’t effortless for you, it won’t be for them either.

Children don’t do what you tell them—they do what they see.

I know this firsthand because I watched my mom struggle with her own eating habits, despite knowing what's healthy.

She was constantly yo-yo dieting, binge eating when alone, then punishing herself with extreme restrictions.

She even taught me how to make myself vomit when I ate too much at the age of 13, thinking it was a way to "control" my weight. I don't blame her. Unfortunately that's what she had learned at a young age too.

I absorbed it all—her anxiety, her shame, and her unhealthy relationship with food and her body.

And it wasn’t just her. My dad, while not battling the same demons, played a role too. He believed that self-control was the solution and often made comments—probably without realizing it—that made me feel ashamed of my body and how I ate. He genuinely wanted to be helpful, but as a child, I received this as judgment and felt deep shame for not being able to 'control' myself.

So I started eating in hiding, trying to avoid the disapproving looks or remarks. It wasn’t my dad's—he simply didn’t have the tools or awareness.

When both parents aren't aligned, it sends confusing and conflicting messages to a child.

The inconsistency doesn’t just dilute the impact—it creates emotional tension. Your child may feel torn, even tormented, unsure of which path to follow, and often ends up retreating into unhealthy or secretive behaviors.

That’s why trying to “fix” your child's eating habits without first examining your own relationship with health—and how you model it—is like bailing water from a sinking boat while ignoring the gaping hole in the bottom.

The real solution starts with you.
‍

The fastest, most effective way to help your child lose weight is to become the role model they need. Here’s how:

Guilt, shame, and tough love don’t work. What works? A home where health is modeled, where food is enjoyed without obsession, and where movement is a natural part of life.
‍

If you struggle with emotional eating, picky eating, yo-yo dieting, or a poor self-image, your child will, too. Show them what a peaceful relationship with food and health looks like.
‍

Your home environment matters more than willpower. If junk food is in the house, it gets eaten. If screens dominate leisure time, movement takes a backseat. Create an environment where healthy choices are easy.
‍

The more you talk about dieting and weight loss, the more pressure and shame your child feels. Instead, focus on fun activities, nourishing meals, and an active lifestyle that feels natural.

My name is Kamy, and I'm a Nutritional Therapist and Engineer, and I founded Step Together to create a real solution to childhood obesity—one that starts with parents.

‍This is more than a company to me; it’s my life’s mission.

I know what it’s like to feel trapped in a body that doesn’t feel like home, and I know the helplessness of watching your child struggle without knowing how to help.

At Step Together, we go beyond surface-level fixes. Our approach dives deep into neuroscience, psychology, fitness, nutrition, addiction, trauma, and behavioral change—helping parents address the root causes so they can break the cycle for their children.

As an engineer, I help you solve health like any complex system—by breaking it down, identifying patterns, and using the most effective, science-backed solution. My background allows me to simplify overwhelming health advice into a structured, step-by-step process any parent can follow.
‍

I know how much you want to help your child. I know the guilt, the frustration, and the feeling of helplessness when nothing seems to work. But you are not failing, and your child is not broken.

That’s exactly why I built Step Together—so no child has to go through what I went through, and no parent has to feel the guilt and helplessness my parents did.
