[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]yet she eats healthy and takes dance class 4 nights a week. I've noticed the weight gain, but she had a doctor's appointment today, and this is how I found out. Her BMI is 87th percentile, so she is technically overweight. [b]I am beating myself up over having let her gain this much weight[/b], but the truth is, she really doesn't eat badly at all. I don't keep chips or sweets in the house, we don't do juice, rarely eat fast food and when we do always get the fruit cup instead of fries. No one in our family is overweight. I just don't understand how this happened. [/quote] You don't control her weight. Please repeat that to yourself. You don't control her weight. You do have some control over her physical activity. You do have some control over the food she has access to. (If you try to control how much she eats, you're putting her at risk of disordered eating.) You do not control her weight.[/quote]
