Hello,
I took my 12 year old daughter to her GP the other day for a health checkup. It wasn’t a surprise that her weight was mentioned. She currently falls into the morbidly obese category. Shes weighs approximately 210lb and she is 5″4. My GP wasn’t much help, she told her to eat healthily and exercise more, we were also given a free pass for the local gym. However, my daughter is rebelling and telling me shes happy within herself. She hates looking at skinny models and she likes being the ‘large, funny and confident girl’, I’m not sure if this is a lie or not.
We started eating healthily and regularly together on Monday, but at around 12:00 at night, I went into her room and caught her eating a 500ml tub of ben and jerry’s ice cream along with 4 packets of crisps. I took those off her, and she attacked me. This is a sign of BED (Binge Eating Disorder) and
obesity is not genetic in our family, we are all in the normal weight category apart from my daughter. Where has she got these terrible eating habits from? Please help me, I am lost, she is hiding and stealing high calorie foods.
