[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you so much for sharing your stories. It's on my mind a lot. My mother was quite obese and only made good comments about my body. However, my father made negative comments about my weight many times. I try to strike a healthy balance with my daughter, but it's a struggle.

I also have a friend who put her (4 year old) daughter on gluten free diet to keep her weight down. D hasn't gained weight but also hasn't grown. I am worried but I don't know what to say. :( [/quote]

Your friend is stunning her child's growth!  It makes me sick to hear this. As a parent of seriously underweight kid, who had to see nutritionist to gain weight, I can honestly tell you that there is a correlation between vertical growth and food intake.  My DC was underweight and below 1% percentile in height, not because of me, because he just couldn't gain weight, as soon as he put on weight he grew in height. Does she want to have a child with growth delay and very short stature?[/quote]
