My child, Susannah is very obese she is 5'3 and 419. I can't even get her dressed she is so obese she can barley walk. I take her to a dietitian every week, a cardiologist once a month and to the peditritian every two months. She gains almost 10 pounds a week. At our house we have a hospital scale and I weigh her every week. She goes to school but can't do gym class, and she comes home crying about bieing teased. I am 125 and 5'8 a perfectly respectiable weight for a 40 year old woman. Every day she eats lots of butter and fattening foods. Please help me help me help my daughter lose weight. Thank You, Shastah L. Catequak

I am in weight terms something of a stick insect I know, at 5'8 and 140lbs and 40 years of age, I am relatively lean, but I am well versed in weight and size matters, having previously worked within tailoring and the clothing and footwear trdaes and in addition being with my ex-partner who was around 440lbs in weight, I have just discovered this useful parents bulletin board and hope that i can be a good listener and help you and your daughter in some way along the line, I have a keen interest in food myself and enjoy cooking, however, I have become more nutritionaly aware over the years and can talk much on these and many other relevant subjects, so if you need a nice, genuine guy to bounce ideas off or simply chat to, drop me a line at: mike-libra2003@amserve.com anytime you wish ok? Best wishes to you both from Mike
Reply from Tara, Child's Age 29 - 08/29/02 - IP#: 216.76.186.xxx Hello, my heart goes out to you all. I have a daughter that is over weight too, but she has lost some pounds and she is still working hard to lose more. For one i have made this a family thing for her, i am eating right too along with exercising with her. I have cut out going to fast foods, eating fried foods and alot of fat period, NO SODAS. She and i eat more bake foods and i make sure that we eat dinner before 7p.m. everyday now. I must say this my daughter has a sleeping disorder and she has to sleep with a machine called a cpap to help her to breath right at night, god knows this is no happy feeling at all. God knows i am working hard to help her and she is doing great. If you would like to know some of the things i am doing to help her please feel free to email me MZ_HONEY29@YAHOO.COM. THANKS AND TAKE CARE AND I WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK WITH HELPING YOUR CHILD. P.S. YOU AS THE PARENT HAVE TO TRY AND WORK HARD TO HELP YOUR CHILD, STOP BUYING THE FATTY JUNK FOODS AND REPLACE THEM WITH HEALTHY SNACKS. ANOTHER TOO, WE CAN'T TELL OUR CHILD NOT TO EAT THIS OR THAT, IF WE ARE GOING TO EAT THE FOODS WE ARE TELLING THEM NOT TO EAT...THATS NOT RIGHT KIDS LEARN FROM EXAMPLES.
