[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]yet she eats healthy and takes dance class 4 nights a week. I've noticed the weight gain, but she had a doctor's appointment today, and this is how I found out. Her BMI is 87th percentile, so she is technically overweight. I am beating myself up over having let her gain this much weight, but the truth is, she really doesn't eat badly at all. I don't keep chips or sweets in the house, we don't do juice, rarely eat fast food and when we do always get the fruit cup instead of fries. No one in our family is overweight. I just don't understand how this happened. [/quote] So what is it that you plan on doing? She is active at least 4 times a week, and you say she doesn't eat badly. What do you plan on telling your 9 year old daughter? I will ask you how often she gets some sort of treat/dessert/junk food. The kids that NEVER get stuff like this at home are the kids that shove food down their throats when their mothers aren't looking. [/quote]
