[quote=Anonymous]I was a size 14 when I entered high school and was surrounded by tiny girls. High school can be CRUEL and I definitely had some of the mean comments thrown my way. Summer after freshman year, I decided to eat healthy and go on jogs. I lost 25 lbs that summer and went back to school a size 8-10 and felt much better about myself.

Highschoolers nowadays are even more cruel. Not saying this in a mean way at all...but she WILL be made fun of if she's tipping 200lbs going into highschool. I know it's harsh but it's the truth. You need to help her fix this now. Go on family walks, cook ONLY healthy meals, no junkfood in the house, etc.

My mom was nasty towards me about my weight. Saying how I had such a pretty face and if I could just lose some weight, i'd be perfect. Commenting on anything I ate or drank. I remember drinking a lemonade on a hot summer day and she asked me if I "really needed that lemonade". Don't be like that or it'll just make things worse. I started to resent her and would sneak food and soda.

I second what a PP said though. Are her friends also heavy/overweight? If so, that can make things harder as I'm sure they all eat like crap together. Maybe she can take up jogging with some of her friends? Encourage walks/hikes or other fun stuff that involves exercising. Shes' young enough that she can drop some of that weight pretty quickly. Even getting down to 150-160 will make her feel a lot better. [/quote]
