[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 13yo DD is overweight (per her pediatrician) and we have been trying delicately to get her to eat healthier and be more active but it’s really difficult. I can also do nothing but that feels equally crazy since this is impacting her health. What is the middle ground? Has anyone else dealt with this?[/quote] How much overweight? That matters a lot. [/quote] OP said she is 5’2” 140 lbs. At 13 that puts her BMI at 94th percentile, which is overweight, and very close to obese (>95th percentile) for a teen. If she ate normal portions and pretty heathy, I think it would be plausible that she will grow several inches and may not gain much since her period hasn’t come yet. But even her junk intake and large portions in general, she is likely to continue gaining weight as a disproportionate rate to her height growth. I do think I would be blunt with her about what moderation means and curbing junk[/quote]
