From Patty, child's age 10

Hello, My daughter is 10 years old and is 4"10 she weights somewhere around 132-138 depends on what day of the week it is. She is in dance 3 nights a week, swimming on wed, and is in basketball on sat. She also loves to jump on her trampoline. We eat fairly descent balanced meals and shes not a big junkfood junky.. HOWEVER>>>she still carrys her weight in her belly> She wears a size 16 1/2 pant. Sometimes 14 1/2 but what Im trying to say here is can someone give me advice as far as talking to her ?? I mean as a child growing up my mother was on me constantly and the more she nagged the more I gained. And now in my early 30's I am also overweight. I am afraid of hurting her or causing her the same agony I went thru. She is fairly popular at school and like I said active as can be...BUT she tells me all the time she wishes she were thinner...please help out if you can! richmonds@iowatelecom.net send me a note if you can help out thanks! Patty
