[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp is talking about vanity sizing.  She May wear a 14/16 but in reality, she is probably a 20.[/quote]

This.

But also the PP is right, the size 14/16 in a plus size store is larger than the standard 14 or 16 in a regular department store.  I just went through those sizes and that's how I know. I could fit into a 14/16 at the plus size store with no problems but not be able to get into a 14 at Ann Taylor for example. The cut of clothing at the plus size stores was definitely fuller.

i am not going to continue to debate sizes with you but my DD wears a 14 (ish) at stores like DEB and F21 plus and at stores like Macy's etc. she is a 14/16 (closer to 16)[/quote]

It's interesting to me that you continue to pull out random bits of posts that you think you can refute. You refuse to believe that the weight your daughter gained is environmental (which is clearly is) instead blaming a hormone imbalance that was corrected 4 years ago. You refuse to admit that she is overweight, saying "she is just a little big all over". She is morbidly obese. The doctor is trying to intervene for your daughter's life. You care more about your pride and sensitivity at being obese yourself than you do about your daughter's life. [/quote]

Hi it's the op again. I am not trying to refute anything. What more do you want? Yes she had a hormonal condition which we corrected and it took many different approaches to find one that actually worked. How fast do you lose weight pp? I know that dd has a long road ahead but she is on that road. No maybe I didn't always help her make the best food choices. Yes I'm obese as well but not as a result of sitting on my ass eating crap. I'm fat because I can only walk for abt 20 mins a day as a result of a birth defect. It is one thing to tell my dd that she is fat
 if she is not doing anything abt it, but she is 
 So yes I do care about the fact that drs are always saying [b]"oh yeah so I know you lost weight. But you're still fat and you aren't doing anything abt it.... Oh bye the way you know you are fat right?[/b] And you have a lot of health risks"[/quote]

This is very different then what you said in your OP. Did the doctor actually say "you are still fat and not doing anything about it"? Did the octor say "oh by the way do you know you are fat?" Those types of phrases are completely different then referring to a nutritionist and using clinical language in an assessment report (your initial complaints). If the doctor make those comments then you have grounds for a complaint for sure. [/quote]
