Got her to weigh herself today as she told me her friend told her that her mum ( my friend ) said she looks really skinny
She's 7st 2lb at 5ft 5 that makes her in the red and underweight on the nhs bmi checker
I feel guilty that I'd not noticed. She was about 8St 7lb last summer so has lost weight
We've cleaned up our diet at home this last 18 months. We now have fresh meat delivered, have a slow cook casserole twice a week, chicken breast and chips, a toast and then she has spag bol once or twice a week. Rarely do we have an unhealthy meal now so basically her calorie intake has dropped
she only drinks water
has 2 rolls (no marge ot butter) spread with mayo for lunch with cheese 8n one and ham and cheese in another
I'm 100% positive no bulemic or anorexic stuff going on. She eats a good size meal but rarely snacks these days as she worries about her skin
She's always bern that kid who doesn't finish a bag of maltesers
Tomorrow we are going shopping for healthy snacks
Smoothie to take to school
fruit juice cartons instead if just water (doesn't do fizz)
Pistachios are the only nuts she's tried
She doesn't want to eat cakes and choc aa will just get spots and fat tummy
.I've been very fat in the past. Always worried she might get fat as I "took the easy option" and had a gastric bypass
I'm so gutted I missed this and in case I've made her too worried about getting fat
