[quote=Anonymous]At this point, I would ask the doctor to have a NOT-so-gentle talk with her. She needs to be scared. she needs to hear that she is headed toward heart disease and diabetes. She needs to hear that it gets harder to lose that weight as she gets older. Having healthy food at home isn't enough at this point. At 17, I'm guessing she spends a lot of time outside the house and that's when she eats junk. She probably has pencil thin friends who are either active or just genetically blessed and can eat junk without gaining a pound. Can you think of any physical activity that might get her interested in health and fitness goals? Maybe ask her to sign up for a fun 5K with you, like the Color Run? If she seems to somewhat enjoy it, suggest signing up for another one to see if you both can improve your time. [/quote]
