[quote=Anonymous]I was a short, fat girl starting in middle school. I just ballooned up at age 12 after being slim/normal. I liked to read and sports I used to engage in, including jump rope and kick ball, became uncomfortable in my developing body or seemed childish. It was easy and somehow comforting to eat a bag of Pepperidge Farm cookies, bought with my babysitting money, with a book. My mom would occasionally say something but there was nothing really to do until I went to college and became completely in charge of what I ate, how I exercised, and what boys I liked and how I wanted them to look at me. It's a longish road, OP. If your daughter seems content, and her grades are decent, I'd leave it alone, as you are doing...Fat also shields you from uncomfortable situations with high school boys.
