[quote=Anonymous]Perhaps cured was a wrong choice of words by op, but come on. Obesity is a disease, it causes insane health issues, from diabetes, to arteries being blocked, to strokes, to high blood pressure, to shorter life span. Obesity is exactly called a chronic disease in medicine. If doctors call it a disease, why is that one pp going nuts that it is not? 
"The Obesity Medicine Association (OMA) applauds the American Medical Association (AMA) for its decision on June 18 to adopt policy that recognizes obesity as a chronic disease state." (from 2013) If we treat it as such, it comes out of shadows and corners and stops being a taboo that affects millions of people and children. 
Now, maybe OP had some food issues herself, perhaps she was too skinny of obese herself? We don't know unless she posts. But, she realized that veggies and fruits are healthy and good for us humans. Kudos to her for that. My SIL never took action, and never helped her dd until doctors put her teen in an inpatient treatments for bulimia, anorexia, binge eating and yes, childhood obesity. We all exercised a ton when I was a kid. As in rode our bikes and played outside. I doubt OP put her dd on a thread mill for 90 minutes per day. But, if she does, I agree that OP should not do that. If she signed her up for soccer or gymnastics of goes on walk with her dd, I see it as wonderful time when on walks mom and dd can bond and have a great time and make memories forever.[/quote]
