[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Would you guys be fine with a kid who is overweight? You're saying it wouldn't both you at all? You wouldn't worry about the health implications? [/quote] I would be MUCH more worried about the emotional side of things. If she's healthy emotionally, that is SO MUCH MORE important than having a small body. Just read a few memoirs of women who've had eating disorders. Even if they LOOK healthy to you, often they are not healthy at all. Women of all sizes can have seriously messed up relationships with food that result in lifelong challenges. These are often kicked off in their teens. You are in a vulnerable stage. Small does not mean healthy. Big does not mean unhealthy. It's time to let this go. She is in charge of her body and what goes into it. Her weight is not a reflection of you. And yes, therapy to help you navigate your feelings. [/quote]
