[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like she might have been stress eating. Which is okay - she was possibly finding comfort in food.

You have every reason to feel upset with exH, you want what's best for your daughter. Back on track with her regular lifestyle should help, she'll probably grow into it sooner than later, and spend the next while helping her develop self comfort techniques that don't involve the highs of food.

Drawing, coloring with nice pencils, journaling, a new hobby, meditating, yoga, anything that keeps her hands busy, etc. So hopefully next time she goes she can fill the void. Help her find a project to bring, a new goal to meet, something to do.

If exH didn't care to notice or find ways for her to be active then I wouldn't mention it to him - if he's insensitive to her and her needs last thing she needs is him shaming her or controlling her food in some weird way trying to do what he thinks you want.

Is a dog to walk an option that she could have and bring with her for comfort and exercise? Something like that.

You sound like a very caring mom.[/quote]
