When I sent my daughter off to college, she was 155lbs at 5"2. Still overweight for her height, but she was active and healthy. She comes home once every 3 or so months. I could tell she was putting on weight, I just didn't realise how bad it was. At the beginning of last summer, I overheard her confiding in her older sister that she had gained 45lbs, but she was going to lose it over the summer. She didn't. She gained another 10 or so lbs. I saw her for the first time since Christmas when she came home for her sister's wedding. A few wider family members said they were shocked to see how much she'd gained. She's only 20 and got out out of breath from a few minutes on the dance floor. A few days later, I went into the bathroom straight after her and saw that the scales were displaying a number. I felt guilty because it was clearly private to her, but I had a look. 257lbs. She's an adult and I don't want to push her away or nag her about her health, but she's gained 102lbs since she started college in 2022. I'm worried sick.
