There are an estimated ten million obese and overweight American kids who experience the ongoing frustrations associated with excessive weight and often do not know where to turn.  The Center Helping Obesity in Children End Successfully, Inc., a grassroots organization formed in April 2002 to join the fight against the deadly epidemic of childhood obesity.  CHOICES aims to spread awareness of this critical issue and significantly reduce the presence of childhood obesity in our communities.  CHOICES has created programs serving Kennesaw and metro Atlanta GA that focus on fitness activities and healthy weight control for children.
