[quote=Anonymous]OP, harsh pp here. Your daughter had a hormone imbalance and gained weight. It was corrected when she was 12 but she is 16 and still 235 pounds. Yet you are overweight also. Due to hormones also? There is just so much denial in your post. You've convinced yourself that everyone hates you and your daughter - doctors, strangers, nurses. No one hates you. They just are concerned because you seem to think it's fine that your daughter is morbidly obese because she is (1) pretty and (2) wears a reasonable size.

Re (1) - Fat people are not ugly and evil! Because your daughter is pretty doesn't mean she isn't fat. You can be fat and be happy! Fat and pretty! Fat is not doom and gloom. It's just incredibly unhealthy, especially on a child. You are making this ABOUT SOMETHING IT IS NOT. It is about health. Nothing else. Your daughter is not carrying 15 pounds. She is carrying an extra 100 pounds.

(2) Plus size 14-16 bear no relation to straight size 14 -16s. She could easily be a size 20 and still fit. [/quote]
