[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, she was in there for a head injury. But she also presented with a weight problem. It's not okay for a 16 year old to be 5'4" and weigh 230 (or 265) lbs. That is unhealthy. Her Body Mass Index is almost 40. Anything over 30 is obesity. Medical staff addressing this issue aren't being rude. They're doing their job. You sound super defensive. Yes, your daughter has done a great job losing the 35 pounds. She still has work to do. Hopefully there's been some thought given as to what might have contributed to her being so overweight, ie stress, lonliness, poor self-image. Addressing the underlying emotions around overeating are just as important as eating healthy and exercising. Continue to focus your energy on supporting your daughter and her good eating habits. [/quote] You are a real piece of work. How do people get through the day without you running their lives? Imagine, this 16 year has managed to lose weight without you.[/quote]
