ok, i make cookies every night for my 3 other kids and my daughter debora is overwight 5'2" 169 and she eats basicly all the cookies, i tell her to stop so she wont become overweight, so should i be punishing her for not listening to me?

Reply from alexis, Child's Age 13 - 11/20/06 - IP#: 72.224.46.xxx take it from a childs point of view. If you are used to eating sweets, especially in large quantities, your daughter is going to have a very hard time eating just 1 or 2 cookies. I am 196 lbs and i am 13 yrs old. Ive learned that if i dont surround myself with bad foods, i will resist the urge to eat them and its worked out great! so im thinking you dont have to bake cookies everyday, more as to once every week. if you teach her that 1 cookie should be a treat rather than a whole plate of cookies being a part of her regular diet, she will adapt to that. please do her a favor and get her started early on taking care of herself and watching her weight. ive been skinny all my life up until maybe 10 years old. I didnt care what i ate, and i blew up to 196 lbs. but my doctor said that even when i do diet that my weight keeps shooting up but im prooving them wrong. it may take me a little longer to lose weight (ive already lost 6 lbs in 3 weeks) ive learned by restricting myself. maybe you can tey that with your daughter. good luck.
