[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+3 to the now buried rec to listen to the podcast Maintenance Mode. Also Christy Harrison’s Food Psych. I also recommend her book “Anti Diet” as OP seems to have some food fear/fat phobia. Address that first so you can help your daughter with out damaging your relationship. [/quote]

I haven't listened to Maintenance Mode specifically but I do listen to other weight maintenance type podcasts. Sometimes they are a breath of fresh air in an otherwise insane landscape. Stuff that focuses on maintenance, not weight loss, is the right way to go.

Maintenance first. Don't even think about weight loss. Lean into how to support her emotionally.

OP, I would find it hard too. It's hard for heavy kids.[/quote]

It’s called maintenance phase and it’s not about weight maintenance, it’s a in-depth critique of the weight loss industry, intentional weight loss, and fatphobia. [/quote]

Interesting. Good to know. Then I probably wouldn't be a fan. I don't care much for the weight loss industry and don't promote it but education on how to stabilize where you are at now and do it in an emotionally sound and sustainable way is what I'm interested in. A critique of an obviously useless weight loss industry is a waste of time, IMO. [/quote]
