[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doctors would also mention the issue and refer to a nutritionist if your daughter was severely underweight. It isn't a fat issue, it is a health issue. [/quote]

Its not true that its easier to gain weight than to lose it.  Just saying that reflects a value judgment on your part toward overweight people, not facts.  Most people who are underweight are because of a medical condition.  If you are thin because of genetics or whatever, its not the same as being underweight.  Sometimes people are underweight because of an eating disorder -- which is extraordinarily difficult to overcome in many cases.  Sometimes its because of a medical condition -- and there are many that could cause this.  I have a digestive disorder and have had to work with a nutritionist to keep weight on.  It is a lot more difficult than you think.[/quote]
