[quote=Anonymous]It is normal for adolescent girls to gain weight. She is old enough to ask for support from you if she would like some. The girls that have significant problems with weight often have a mother who is overly involved with the child's appearance. For the girl to be able to gain control she may gain weight or become bulimic or anorexic. Allow her to go through the normal weight gain/ shift in body fat patterns without using her eating choices as a (subconcious) way to get you to back off her weight/ food intake. Also, don't bring foods with high fructose corn syrup in the house, it results in stimulating appetite. [/quote]
