[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree that you need to address this issue. Many of my APs have come here really worried about gaining weight in USA because all Americans are fat and eat burgers and fries all the time. Hopefully, you do have a healthy eating lifestyle in your home and she can begin to see that and relax about the perception. You say she's overweight to begin with, so perhaps her issues with food pre-date her time here and perceptions about American food. That could also hopefully be addressed diplomatically. "I've noticed your energy doesn't seem to be good and that you don't seem to be eating much. Can we talk about that a little?" [/quote] It's a pretty well documented phenomenon that immigrants do gain more weight with greater time in the US. that being said, you can as the PP said, ensure that healthy foods are offered in your home. If she is out with the girls and they keep hitting up fast food, not much you can do.[/quote]
