[quote=Anonymous][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. [b]Daughter ended up overweight[/b]. 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]

OP acknowledged reality, which you are minimizing.  Are you allergic to describing the DD as obese?[/quote]
