Hi! I'm really worried about my daughter. She always has been overweight. She was at a weight loss camp last summer and lost quite an amount of weight and when she got home we continued with the diet. But over the holidays she really stuffed herself and is now bigger than ever. She ist currently 4 foot and 5 inches and weights in at 192 pounds. She was really shocked, when she saw that number on the scale. And I was shocked too. Her belly lookes so bloated and she says it has become so heavy, she constantly holds it, when she walks. Please help my little girl!
Reply from Taylor, Child's Age 14 - 02/23/08 - IP#: 75.66.43.xxx If she was on a diet, why did you let her stop over the holidays? Despite what people may think, when on a diet you can't "take breaks". You have to stick to it no matter what. But it's over now, so time to get her back into the same old diet, and no stopping this time!

Reply from Brandy to JOHN, Child's Age 7 - 02/02/07 - IP#: 4.248.232.xxx John,I am sorry for the assumption since it hurt your feelings.Your comment was harsh anbout a CHILD who is 9 years old.Her mother was asking for help so she could help her daughter not ignore her problem and wait until its too late.
Reply from john-to BRANDY, Child's Age 11 - 02/02/07 - IP#: 68.194.41.xxx Brandy, i'd just like you to know, i AM a parent, and haven't given up on anything! I just mean that when the child realizes what she is doing is wrong, she might realize that she mightwant to change her life around. you have to be able to let your kids fix their mistakes. (with our help, of course)Also, i have three beautiful and handsome children-11yearold Samantha, 13 year old Alexa, and 16 year old Zach, and my wife Betty. Please do not go assuming anything!
Reply from Debbie, Child's Age 9 - 01/24/07 - IP#: 206.154.58.xxx Maybe you should look at the items you bring in your house. If its not there she can't eat it. Everyone in your house should be eating healthy along with her, not to single her out, plus it is good for everyone. Send her lunch to school. I have noticed when my daughter eats lunch at school she gains weight, there healthy menu's aren't healthy at all. At this weight I would talk to her doctor to see if they have a suggestion. That is a very unhealthy weight for her age/height. Best of luck.

Reply from Joe - 01/11/07 - IP#: 69.201.182.xxx I assume you're the same Laura who's been posting on this board for more than a year now about Lisa. In January 2006, she weighed about 160, and now she's up to 190, so she gained 30 pounds last year (despite the summer weight loss camp). Don't say it's just that she stuffed herself on the holidays - the problem comes from unhealthy habits, and the solution depends on developing healthy habits.
Reply from john, Child's Age 11 - 01/07/07 - IP#: 68.194.41.xxx so what if shes that big?it is her fault and not yours that she wnts to eat and behave the way she does.face the truth, your daughter made her belly grow so big, and if she isn't changing her habits, leave her, that is what i did with my daughter.
Reply from Brandy, Child's Age 7 - 01/05/07 - IP#: 4.249.177.xxx My heart really goes out to you.I wouldn't pay any mind to the reply from John.Apparently he has given up or isn't a parent at all.(meaning a phony reply just likes to redicule).I understand how hard it is for you and your daughter.My son is also obese.It is very important to show unconditional love.They recieve enough punishment at school.teachers as well as children are cruel.We are trying a few new things.If your interested I am email them to you just post your address.My prayers are with you.
