[quote=Anonymous]OP, "home cooking", although it has benefits, doesn't protect people from too many calories. Have you evaluated what is being eaten at home for calories, portion sizes, etc. That would be my first thought rather than assuming my DH was sneaking food at work. In any event, my primary concern would be for my daughter's self esteem. Reassure her that she is beautiful, but if she is more interested in health and fitness, help her do it the right way. Maybe ask your pediatrician for a referral to a nutritionist who can work with the whole family. Help her find a program focused on strength and self-love, not changing her body (maybe she'd enjoy yoga too, or there is a good personal trainer for teens in your area?). And help her find a good peer group: if she's not interested in a school sport, what about other clubs or activities?[/quote]
