[quote=Anonymous]DD has mentioned her weight a few times (concerns about fitting into school clothes and swimming suit).  She mostly wore oversized t-shorts and stretchy athletic shorts over the summer (that seems to be the style for preteen and teen girls....).

We talked a bit about her summer, she seemed to like taking it easy.  We stay pretty busy during the school year.  I think she enjoyed having a low key relaxing summer with unlimited screen time and food.

I don’t have strict rules about food and TV but stay busy and I don’t keep junk in the house so we naturally end up watching minimal TV and eating fairly well.

I think it was good for her to have a few months of complete relaxation but now getting back into the swing of things may be more difficult.

I wonder how not staying active will effect her in sports.  She is athletic and very good at both swim team and volleyball, I wonder if the lack of exercise combined with being in a new school (starts Jr. High) will hold her back.[/quote]
