    I can't imagine what you have been through. You already set an example for your daughter by being strong and courageous in the face of a disease deadly to so many and beating it. YYYAAAAYYYY you!!!! Now you can continue to set that example for her every single day by showing her that when you have a problem (in this case, your weight) you go out and you find a solution that works for you, and you apply it to your life. You let her see that sometimes its hard and frustrating, and sometimes its exciting. You let her see that setbacks are not failures, and that everyone has good and bad days in their lifes. You let her see you not give up, even when progress is slow. You let her see that a network of friends and family to count on and help support you is not only okay, its necessary. And you let her see that the size and shape of her body should never determine her worth as a human being. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!
