My DD has just been weighed. She's very tall for her age, at 5 foot 9, and well made, strong and stocky, but she's 14 stone.
I'm devastated. I've been trying to deal with this for a year years, to no avail.
She won't eat meals that we eat. She must be eating in secret. I never see her eat any rubbish food. She doesn't go out. She has loads of friends, but we are quite rural so not close to them.
I have two other DDs who are a normal weight. With DD I think it's a lot of factors, as she has had some anxiety issues (CAMHS helped).
I need advice on how to handle it, from someone who has been there. I feel like a failure. She is so headstrong and I give in so easily.
I don't know if it's best to be honest and say you're overweight, or is this dangerous to say to an almost 14 yo?
Amy advice?
