[quote=Anonymous]Agree with the recommendation to please tread carefully. And also recommend you work on admiring and rejoicing in your own body and model that. 
I am also overweight. DD was very overweight as a kid. I taught her stupid fat restriction method and she developed unhealthy eating habits. Her aunt is also overweight but knows she is gorgeous and has a lot of fun dressing and styling herself so anyone looking at her can see how gorgeous she is. DD saw this modeled and has gone that route instead. DD is still chubby but has accepted her body as “thick” and she has plenty of dating options (and doesn’t devalue herself to think she needs she needs to ‘put out’ to be deserving of romantic attention). DD is late HS now.
I recognized I was doing damage when she started to fret too much about food so I totally stepped off. Her aunt just loved herself and DD picked up on her own that is what she wanted to emulate for herself. 
Brenee Brownesque “We judge those who struggle with what we struggle with”. Too often a women’s weight is a deep wound and when we try to guide our DD’s we only guide them to feel that wound.
Good luck OP and all the best to you and your DD![/quote]
