[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother in Europe put me on a diet when I was 2 years old, and that was decades ago. No she wasn't crazy, I was eating like there was no tomorrow. And it was all homemade good food. I love food, still do.  Could eat all day long!  I was what grandma called "healthy" and by the time I was 11 I wasn't heavy but I wasn't skinny either. But, all the healthy food I ate shaped my eating habits and at 15 I started eating even healthier, fish,veggies, on my own. Telling 9 year old to control her own eating is a recipe for failure, she likes it, it feels good and she is a kid.  On top of it she needs to eat to grow and be healthy.  I don't get the impression that OP necessarily wants our advice on how to proceed, just some compassion from us. She will most likely see nutritionist, endocrinologist etc for advice if she wasn't already doing all of it.  OP, good luck. The only thing I could say is to show your daughter unconditional love and care, and not criticism, that is the most important thing IMO. No matter the weight, the other issues, always tell her that she is most beautiful child in the world, she will start saying things like, maybe to you and you should say yes, to me you are everything in the world.[/quote]

Thank you. [/quote]
