[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Talk to her pediatrician and get a referral to an endocrinologist who specializes in obesity. Get all the labs done, then broach the subject.

One thing you didn't mention was if she exercises. She needs to be active - not for weight loss, but for general health. I get it, I struggle with this too, I hate exercising. Maybe you can go on a walk with her a couple nights a week to start?[/quote]

I’m honestly not sure her ped would do a referral and she’s had labs done with the gyn but I’ll look into an endocrinologist.

She is very active - dances almost every day (not a form of dance that comes with a side of body image issues) and walks at least a few miles daily due to walking to/from school. She does yoga and core training on her own as well most days.  She doesn’t do a ton of additional exercise but I’m working on that. Of course as a hs junior the one thing she doesn’t have is free time.

She doesn’t have access to tons of unhealthy foods at home because I don’t buy them. [/quote]
