[quote=Anonymous]This is hard. But 15 lbs in two months is A LOT. If you want to do a mathematical estimate, she is likely eating in excess of 1000 calories per day over what she actually needs- to put on 15 lbs in 2 months. First, take her to the dr. Have her thyroid checked and anything else that could be causing rapid weight gain. Then explore if this is an adhd driven impulsive eating issue. Next, take her to a nutritionist. Sometimes hearing what she should be eating (and why) from someone that isn’t Mom is a lot more effective. But at the end of the day, you cannot live her life for her. Schools are filled with garbage food they constantly push on kids. Free junky sugar “breakfast” foods, free processed lunch, candy and “prizes” from teachers that are more junk food..it is endless. If she doesn’t want to/can’t say no to the junk, there isn’t anything you can do about it. [/quote]
