[quote=Anonymous]My just turned 10 to DD just had her annual well visit and the doctor told us she is overweight. She is 58 inches and weighs 110 lbs. the doctor’s suggestion is to try to eliminate all processed foods and sweets from our house and only offer nutritious foods. Dessert should only be for special occasions. I am a little concerned that this is a little too extreme/restrictive and could lead to sneaking food or going crazy when she isn’t home. That said, DD goes to a school that provides lunch (we can’t bring our own) and she also goes to friends’ houses a couple days per week so she has access to processed foods, snacks and sweets there. Anyone have a recommendation for how to approach this? Follow the doctor’s advice? DD already knows which foods are healthy and which are not. We don’t typically restrict anything but try not to over indulge too. [/quote]
