[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. We do make good choices and exercise as a family. We found out that she was ditching the healthy lunches we packed and was buying fried foods at school. We have shut off her lunch pin so she can’t do that anymore. I’m not in the dark about her weight. Just think the BMI is BS and most doctors don’t understand nutrition, female hormone systems, and mental health. At least none I’ve met that go beyond lecture and lip service.[/quote] I'm going to agree with you. Your biggest challenge is not causing an obsession with weight. Never harp on her, never force her to eat. Do not make unhealthy foods a battle. Everything in moderation. Add family walks, hikes to fun places on weekends. Even if that means exploring more or getting up a little earlier. [/quote]
