[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look I am overweight, ok. I still think you are wrong. Why isn't she working with a nutritionist or a doctor anyway? She needs support. From a therapist or someone qualified as well as a nutritionist. I think you are massively underestimating how serious this is. She will likely gain the weight back without proper guidance. Just starving herself for a few months won't cut it. She could also develop an eating disorder out of the dieting as well.

Stop cutting out medical professionals who only want to help. If she's always been overweight, then do some soul searching as to why. If this is new, she may be reacting to serious underlying psychological/emotional issues. Focusing on the weight blurs that. She could have been molested for all you know. Either way, get off your ass and help your child.

Being defensive about them calling her obese (when she is nearly morbidly obese!) is ridiculous. She is obese. You should be worried.

Go away trollie.  [/quote]

NP here.  The PP delivery is harsh, but her message is true.  It's ridiculous the way DCUM throw the world troll around.  If that child is on one of those crash diets, the weight will come back.  and, it will be worst.  Use the nutritionist.  I am sure it is covered by the health insurance.  [/quote]

she has not been starving, in fact she is not on a "diet" per se. she is simply eating small portions. So yes, she had Chipotle for dinner last night (we only eat out once a week) but she had a half (maybe 2/3) of a burrito bowl and the rest is still in the fridge. why do you all assume that she is on a crash diet? Her *nutritionist* is the one who said not to "diet" but to just eat normal foods but within a smaller portion. She has gotten to a point where she doesnt even crave sweets anymore and she eats less without feeling "deprived". the nutritionist said that her stomach likely has shrunk. [/quote]
