[quote=Anonymous]She should see her pediatrician and potentially an endocrinologist first, to be honest. If it's rapid weight gain, there are a lot of reasons it could be happening beyond overeating. The overeating may also have another cause. Good be hormone levels or her thyroid. She's still in puberty and that has a major impact on weight gain. Could also be just stress and potentially anxiety/depression due to the factors you already mentioned, in which case it may be best treated by treating her mental health, which will reduce her urge to over-eat. Forget the nutritionist and actually address the underlying health issues here. Help her to see that the weight issue is less important than her overall wellness (but also that there's a positive correlation between overall wellness and maintaining a healthy weight).[/quote]
