    Congrats on your journey! You have a done a wonderful job. You story brought me to tears as I thought of my daughter. As of now, she is 10 years old and at 141 pounds. In the last few months she has lost weight. She was at 156 at Christmas. As I looked at your pictures, I pictured my lil' girl gaining and gaining. It's scary and I know I have to work with her. Any insights from your experience would be greatly welcomed. Good luck to you!

    That's a tough situation to be in! I know it was awful for my parents trying to monitor my weight. People think you have complete control over your child's intake, but your control is definitely limited to when they're within eyesight! I'm so glad she's doing well! :smile:

    My main tip for raising a child who's struggling with their weight is making losing weight/having a healthy lifestyle a family activity. My family did a lot of making special food for me while the rest of them ate pizza, and it made me view my new and improved diet as a punishment. I would circumvent this 'punishment' by eating a lot of leftovers in private.

    What would have worked better was if the whole family ate low-calorie meals and treated it as something fun we were doing together. Same goes for exercise!

    This is powerful advice! Thank you. I will think of you and your success often as I strive to be a healthy example for my two little daughters. Congratulations and best wishes to you!
