[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why doesn't the nutritionist want your child to log calories? [/quote] How is this even a question? It sets teen girls up for disordered eating patterns. To the OP- your daughter may be overweight, but your approach is setting her up for a lifetime of disordered eating to boot. Did she ask for your advice? Does she want your help with her weight? If not, then you’re doing much more harm to her than good. My advice to the OP: -model healthy eating and attitudes toward food and weight -verbal affirmation from you regularly - whatever non-weight related things you can praise -be a listening ear and provide advice if asked but do not be critical of her weight or body -be attuned to what’s going on socially. Does she have good peer influences? Any chance she is or has been bullied? You need to ask her good, thoughtful questions.[/quote] Lol. I can’t even…. [/quote]
