[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where does she get the unhealthy food or is it portion control as well? One thing I've done is really stock the house with healthy choices. We don't have pizza, chips or ice cream here. We may order a pizza for a fun Friday dinner with salad or go out for ice cream on occasion but the temptation isn't here in the house. Instead snacks are yogurt,
PB&J, cheese sticks, apple with pb, carrots and hummus. But 17 is older and I imagine she has a lot more freedom to buy her own foods than my younger ones do. It's such a sensitive subject, I would try to lead by example but it sounds like that is what you've already done. [/quote]

NP.  These are great snack ideas but what if your teen won't eat them?  My 12 year old is not overweight but if there is no junk food in the house to eat, she will find the white sugar and eat it plain (!).  Or eat slice after slice of bread with butter or cream cheese.  She has started to chunk up and I would love to help her now instead of during or after puberty.  [/quote]
