[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be concerned that with rapid weight gain, she might be eating secretly or outside of the home—perhaps to cope with big feelings about a variety of possible issues. Having a mom who is weight conscious IME makes kids who are struggling with food issues struggle MORE. OP, you may not have said anything, but your feelings about her weight gain are probably coming across loud and clear. I’d open the lines of communication and find out how she feels about losing the social connections with her soccer team, about the increased work load at school, about whatever is going on in her life. Weight and food issues are so rarely actually about weight and food.[/quote] I would love to know you in real life. Beautifully said.[/quote] Agreed.[/quote]
