[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello,

Op here. I know, I know, reviving an old thread. Just dropped in to say that DD has lost 40 more lbs. Also, she is still afraid of Doctor's (not terrified, but uneasy). The doctors are still immediatley harping on weight which has caused some emotional breakdowns on DD's case as she feels that she never wants to see another Dr. until she is at a perfect BMI. I tell her that is not good thinking and that some docs are tactful others can be smug and obnoxious.

That is great news!

Just curious, but what caused your daughter to become so overweight? Was it eating habits since she was young? Did overeat in secret? I did know a girl who was adopted from Serbia who was in an orphanage at 4yrs old and not fed well, and when she came to her new family here, she hoarded food under her bed and would binge eat. By the time she was 18, she was very large. I'm just curious when I see large children how they end up at that point. [/quote]

I can assure you that most overseas adoptees grow out of such issues at a much, much younger age, with specialized treatment or without. I'd be more worried about my American-born and raised child assuming that what most people eat here is actual food. [/quote]

I know an adoptee from Korea who did this as well. She too was adopted as a 5yr old child. She struggles to this day as an adult.[/quote]
