[quote=Anonymous]OP, my mom was overweight and I was pretty chubby as a kid. When I got to 12ish I started to feel self conscious about my weight and started eating less. My parents noticed, I told them I didn’t want to be fat anymore and they started cooking differently etc. It helped but I also hit puberty then and got pretty tall so my weight was shifting anyway. By about 15-16 I got borderline anorexic and they took me to a nutritionist; best thing ever, and she focused on health and macros and it sort of stuck. I’ve never been overweight as an adult and I think learning the science behind it and knowing how to eat healthy are why. I think you should model good eating and tell her you want to lose weight because of xyz (looking better, more energy, etc). I do think it’s become super acceptable for Americans to be overweight even as kids and is should be discouraged (not PC but honestly- it’s not healthy and statistics prove that)[/quote]
