[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks for all the advice so far. I should have been more specific: Both my other child and myself are in excellent shape. Honestly, I know more about fitness and food than most people. Perhaps that is where the problem lies - I make too much of a big deal over exercise and eating right. I have some junk food in the house, but not a lot. I made nothing forbidden because I didn't think that was the right way to go. I model the right behavior, but it has no impact.  Because I also have a diet-obsessed mom I go out of my way not to specifically talk about diets, but about healthy eating. I almost feel like I'm doing her a disservice by *not* talking about it, but I'm afraid. I'm sure she knows! That's why I was thinking about a professional; I would still have to figure out a way to get her there, but it wouldn't be me doing the talking. [/quote]

Well, how is she doing otherwise? It is so hard to opine about this on an anonymous internet forum and not sound like an uninformed jerk (and I swear I'm not trying to be), but is she otherwise well-adjusted and healthy? Is it from bad habits or is it possible she's just made this way/going through puberty differently than you and your other child did? Is it possible that there's something else going on with her emotionally? Is it a control thing for her, maybe? Subtle subconcious rebellion? There are so many possibilities. Has SHE ever mentioned it? [/quote]
