My daugther becca and her boyfriend recently broke up. as you can imagine that has been hell in our household...which anyone who has a 15 year old daughter will stand by that with me. she broke her leg in may and at that time i noticed her putting on weight but i thought she would loose it after she got her cast off. now that becca's leg is ok she is still having the same bad habits. she's works during the summer and when she get's home she's tired and she just eats, watches tv, and goes on aim. a couple of nights ago me,becca, and my other daughter went out to eat then we went for ice-cream. becca had put on a pair of jeans that looked extra tight even though i just bought them a week ago. while becca was eating her icecream the button on her jeans opened and we couldnt close them. when we went home i saw her weight was 158.5 wit a 33% body fat. i was on a site and it said ways you can tell your child is overweight and 1 of them was growing out of clothes faster which becca does, and when i told becca she should be put on a diet she told me "mom, cmon i gained a little weight! big deal." its like she doesent care or doesent realize how large she has gotten. how can i put my daughter on a healthy diet and how much weight does she need to loose. also HOW CAN I TELL MY DAUGHTER THAT SHE IS OVERWEIGHT...without hurting her!
Reply from Becca, Child's Age 21 - 04/10/06 - IP#: 24.97.224.xxx you people make me sick, teenagers have enough troubles at school being judged by their peers, they shouldnt be judged by their parents too. try to serve them healhier, or stop buying crappy food, but maybe you should be supportive and talk to her rather than critisizing her. that will only lower her self esteem and cause her to eat more, and become depressed. just what every parent wants to do to their child right?
