[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is 9. We have always been laid back but keep a healthy diet for our family. We are all fit and trim. But DD seems to have a real addiction to sugar. While we keep treats/desserts in moderation, she finds a way to sneak more than she should have. She can't stop herself. Now she has gained a little weight and you can see it in her tummy. I could use some advice about how to talk to DD about this without causing major body image issues. Any advice? (please no judgey comments)[/quote] Why not change your own behavior first? Change what you stock so she only has the option to sneak healthy food, and serve more filling food at meals and snacks so she doesn't feel driven by her low blood sugar. If you must speak to her, you can avoid making it about her body by not making it about her body, but the behavior. You have noticed she seems to still be hungry after meals--is she? Then let her talk.[/quote]
