DD9 is a little portly around the tummy area. This is starting to bother her as she is a bit bigger than the other girls in her class (there are only 5 of them so it’s quite obvious as the others are all quite skinny). I’m very conscious not to make an issue out of it and am very careful with my language and how I respond when she talks about it; my mum has a real issue with weight which has not helped me...
So I want to use the holidays to try and reset her diet to healthier options. Any suggestions ? She loves very traditional “British food” like sausages, cottage pie, roast dinners etc. She used to like fish but keeps refusing to eat it. She also loves pasta and Indian. She has a Nutella fetish 😆
So far I’ve switched from normal mince to 5%, ive tried out some chicken Italian sausages this morning which went down well. I’m replacing ice cream with sorbet and trying to gradually introduce healthier options.
She is already very active - when at school she swims daily as she is the swim squad, games lessons every day, horse riding once a week and then 2 hours gymnastics on Saturdays. So activity levels aren’t the issue haha
