[quote=Anonymous]This is an ongoing struggle for me - one of my dd's is overweight. Her weight has increased every year to the point where she is now at least 40 pounds overweight. She is now 17. I have tried numerous things over the years (emphasizing 'health' over diet, movement, etc.) but in the past 18 months have pretty much backed out of it altogether. This has not worked. Our doctor has gently spoken with her at her yearly physicals for the last 4 years and it has made no impact. She makes bad nutritional choices and doesn't seem to care on the surface, but I can't imagine she doesn't really care. I know the consensus on here is usually to back off and let the kid decide what to do, but it's remarkably difficult to watch your amazing DD gain weight and not say anything. I fear for when she heads off to college in another year and there is unrestricted eating at all hours. [/quote]
