[quote=Anonymous]Forget about the weight. The weight is a symptom. The problem is her low self esteem. And you CAN help with that. What is she good at? What does she like? What are her best qualities? Find ways to reinforce them! If she's good with animals, suggest volunteering at an animal shelter. If she likes reading, ask her for book recommendations, then read one of them and discuss it with her! Complement her analysis. Tell her when she makes good points. Compliment her to other people you know! "Oh, Larla recommended X book and it was wonderful - she's such a voracious reader, we're so proud of her." You're looking at the wrong problem. [/quote]
