[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Family walks/hikes. Make it your New Years resolution.[/quote] Agree with this. Also talk about it in terms of being healthy not weight loss. Not sure what snacks and meals she eats now but make them healthier and don't deny sugar but make it a dessert food not a snack food.[/quote] Agree with this. It's about health, not size. There is so much evidence available about how horrible sugar and processed food is for you. A variety of diseases, yes, but it also impacts sleep, learning, mental clarity, mood/happiness, long-term body issues. And learning healthier habits now, and the impact of bad ones, will help her make better choices moving forward. As a side note, I was a chubby pre-teen. I was shy, self-conscious, and used food as an escape. You may also want to do a check-in with her to make sure there isn't more to her love of carbs and sweets other than a love of carbs and sweets.
