[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So OP should say that her DD's obesity is in remission...

Can you hear yourself?[/quote]

I would just say she is healthy. It removes the idea that the child had an illness in the first place.  [/quote]

Ok re-write the thread title using the word “healthy”[/quote]

I have been supportive of the OP. Someone asked why people had a problem with the word cured and I answered.

I think it is great that the family made some changes and the kid is healthier. I think that it is great that the kid found an activity that she enjoys and is eating better. I don’t think she had an issue that needed to be cured. Hopefully the girl is learning how to care for herself and will continue down that path with the occasional bump.

I think some posters latched on to the word cured as a sign that the OP did not have the best mind set in dealing with the original problem. OP attached a healthy appetite as an infant to obesity as a child. OP admitted that she had some wrong information about consuming fruit. OP allowed her child to eat poorly and didn’t encourage her daughter to be active. Daughter ended up overweight. Overall, part of the daughters problems was because of her parents approach to food. Hence the parents using a word like cured.

Props to the OP for finding was to encourage healthier eating and insisting on more activity. Hopefully the OP will look a bit more at how they approach food and continue to grow. It sounds like they listened to the Doctor and acted on that info in a positive way.

They made positive changes, which is great.[/quote]
