[quote=Anonymous]Op please please for the love of everything do NOT say anything. And do NOT make comments on what she is eating, or tell her shes' eaten too much, or ask if she's SURE she needs more?? This will only give her eating issues and I PROMISE YOU it will most likely make her eat MORE not less. I know this sounds counterintuitive but shame makes us eat more.

I know you just want to help your daughter - I would recommend the first step as reading the book: Your child's weight: How to help without hurting by Ellyn Satter. But I would recommend not bringing the book into the house - and I'm serious. The title is bad, even though what ellyn satter teaches is usually good. If I was a young girl and I found that book on my parents bedside table I would feel terrible and it would take away anything you try to do to help. So find a way to read it without her catching wind.

Please read this - it will help and give you the tools you need!
