[quote=Anonymous]If you eat reasonably well and are overweight it may well be genetic for her to be a little chubby. Not everyone is going to be slim like Kate Middleton, they just aren’t. I say that as someone who could eat whatever she wanted until about 40 and stay really slim. I are mostly home cooked food but lots of pasta, ice cream, steak etc... My 12 year old son is barely on the growth chart for weight and eats like the famine is coming. I think you are doing so many of the right things and beyond that this is not totally something you can control. I will say that I try to discuss things from a health/nutrition perspective. My kids love their white carbs and even with my beanpole son I talk about how white carbs basically convert to sugar, aren’t as filling as whole grains, how fiber is important, eating the rainbow to try to get all the nutrients, lots of saturated fat isn’t good for your heart, etc...in other words, make it about health not weight.
