From Colette, child's age 7

My daughter is 7 yrs old,weighs 115lbs. I am so worried about my daughter I know the weight bothers her sometimes but she doesn't say anything. She can't tie her own shoes very well if she does she says it hurts her tummy. She has a lot of friends but kids still tease her at school. I don't keep junk food in the house at all, but I do always try to have a lot of fruit like apples or oranges she know that if she is hungry at an unappropriate time she can eat fruit for a snack. I have been recently been diagnosed with diabetes, and I am worried that she is at risk for getting this disease due to her weight. I have trouble finding clothes for her, and K-mart doesnt always work. I have to buy sweats because she can't wear jeans because I can't find her size. I anyone can tell me anything I would appriciate it.As far as excersise she is active but just started within this winter. Her doctor says she will grow out of this within a year or two if she continues this diet, but when she is with her dad he gives her just about anything she wants, he knows that it isn't good for her but does it anyways.I don't know what to do.
