[quote=Anonymous]Since she hasn’t started her period yet, body composition may change a bit when she does? I would not bet on it, but it isn’t uncommon either. Is there any family history of weight problems? She may have a genetic tendency to be a bit heavier (which doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be concerned) but you may need to accept that she might struggle more than others and be realistic. As a mom of 3 teens what jumps out at me the most is the amount of free time and spending $ she has. None of my kids and their friends had as much of either one, at age 13. Can you get her involved in a sport (ideally) or activity? Are her friends not involved in organized activities either? At age 13, most of the kids were busy with sports and other things- and generally did not have time to go to Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts every day after school or spend a day hanging out at the mall or doing extended sleepovers every week.
