My daughter. Is 13 years old and weighs 289 pounds. We had a doctors visit last month. And we walked in fine not thinking about her large belly at all. I never realized how large she truly was .she is my daughter I think she is perfect. We got called back and I knew when the nurse weighed her it was bad.at the office the always say the weight just so you know it before you get to see the doctor. The only reason they would not say it out loud is I they don't want your child to know. So we went to wait for the doctor in the room. She changed into one of those little paper overall types cover ups. Since there are no sides for thefirst time I saw her huge her stomach was there are strech marks And rolls all over her. The doctor came in and checked her over. When it was done she asked Taylor to stand in the hall for a minute.when the door was firmly shut she brought up her weight. What she did was bring up a gym we should. Isit that had a class for children like Taylor. We left and when Taylor and I got home we got ready to go to a party with my husband and so . When she was dressed I realized vow tight her extra larger button down was. At the party Taylor and her brother went to sit with friends and my husband And I talked about what the do for said. We agreed to make herntrybit. Last week we went for the first time. When the class started they met everyone and the tea her weighed them. Taylor was the largest one there! The other kids were at most I. The high 100's. That class they didn't do any exercies. That starts next class. I am juSt ashamed I let her get this large. Even in gym class all the other kids run laps just getting a little tires while Tay is red,sweating and breathing very heavy after half a lap. I am just ashamed I let her get this large.
