[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My teens eat about the same, one is skinny no matter what and the other puts on weight.
Parented the same way, fed the same way, etc. it’s hormones and metabolism and some people get the short end of the stick. All you can do is choose healthy foods at home, single serve desserts like Trader Joe’s hold the cones instead of gallons of ice cream you scoop into a bowl can help with portion control. [/quote]

While this can be true, often it truly is just too many calories going in.  OP is saying that her daughter is frequently over indulging and eating large portions.  That’s the reason she is overweight.  But it’s really hard to regulate what someone else is eating and how much, especially once the teens years hit.  Her daughter eating an apple or a heathy meal before she goes out with friends will not move the needle on how much junk she eats with her friends.  It just won’t.  She will still finish the entire milk shake and order of fries or whatever- until she figures out that she shouldn’t, even if she wants to.[/quote]
