From David, child's age 12

My thanks to Michelle who wrote a response to the last message I posted. It was a very positive response. My daughter I believe is still at 170 lbs still will not get on the scales for me as she is embarrased about her weight. Since although my daughter is overweight but not as seriously as some of the children here, I would like to make it my first goal to get her to talk about her weight rather than lose it. I would like to have someone show how I can get her to open up about it, and a way that I can show her as much understanding as possible rather than judgement. I do love her regardless of what her weight is and I will still love her even if she gains. How can I get her to understand that if she loses weight she must do it for herself? Not for me.
