[quote=Anonymous]What does her doctor say? Could you enforce healthier eating habits without mentioning that the purpose is to lose weight? You could all start eating healthier together. It doesn’t matter what her friends eat. If you know that she does consume more calories than she should be and that there are bad eating habits involved then I don’t think there is anything wrong with introducing better things. You could make it fun, involved her in meal planning and grocery shopping. Don’t cut out deserts completely but reduce the frequency, smaller portions and swap for better brands. I don’t tell my 6 year old that excess deserts and snacks will make you gain weight, but I say that it isn’t good for our stomach and it also makes out blood sick. Which as someone with insulin resistance is true, it does make my blood ‘bad’ :)[/quote]
