From Caris, child's age 17

I really don't know what to do anymore. I was brought up in a very poor family where we hardly had any food. I managed to get out and get a good job and I vowed that my daughter would have everything she wanted. She always had big meals and we would celebrate everything with a big slap up meal. I've put on a little weight over the years (well 50lbs to be exact which has put me at 180lbs) but I'm worried sick about my daughter. I don't know how I didn't realise she'd got so big. She's having problems walking around and ends up panting and red faced after she walked up the stairs. I'd guess she was around 450/500lbs at 5'4. I fear her life is in danger. The last straw was actually seeing her in her underwear last night. Her belly hangs half way down her legs and she has huge rolls of fat on her thighs. Her morbid obesity is actually deforming her body. I don't want to deprive her but I'm scared that carrying an extra 300/350lbs of fat will put such strain on her heart that it will just give out. I've begged her to stop eating but she gets angry and crys. I've tried to get her to exercise but even on a slow walk she's dripping in sweat and unable to go on after about 100 feet. PLEASE HELP ME.
