[quote=Anonymous]OP, first off let’s not plan to put anyone on the irons. Just in case this ends up being a chronic condition that your daughter has to live with, it’s important not to stigmatize having a body of a different size if her health remains good. I have a few nieces on my husband’s side, One of them is extremely slim, the other one is Big boned, but slim, and the third is big boned and hefty. She simply built that way, eats the same as her sister and has a great level of activity. In the meantime, you might want to get some blood work done and be sure everything is OK with her from all angles clinically. That’s not inch her towards a GLP one or anything like that, but just to be sure there are no other underlying issues. After that, it’s important that the whole family, not just the overweight ones, embark on a fitness lifestyle that includes the right type of eating, the right type of snacking, and the level of activity, by which I mean, right for your family and for the goals that you guys want. Our family is very active, eats most meals at home, we do incorporate some junkie snacks because I was deprived of those as a kid, and it made us fixate, And the Kids seem to hit a really good balance of healthy food and a limited amount of processed food and are extremely athletic and slim – these are both boys. I’m the one that struggles a little more with my weight, but I try to model the best behavior and front of them and keep my activity level high so I can partake in everything the family does. Hopefully everything will be OK with your wonderful daughter. If the misery persists, consider changing schools. [/quote]
