dd1, whose weight i was worried about, has said tonight she is fat.

[misdee]

i have never said that to her.

so we have had a talk this evening, she wants to see the GP (am trying to get an afterschool appointment) and see what they say. i think they will just tru and focus on stabilising her little excess podge (she weighs about 4stone, and is 8years old), until her height catches up.

she has said she will stop asking for snacks all the time and will go for the fruit bowl. and exercise more.

what else can we do?

Misdee, try H&M, their stuff is really nice and seems to be nicely cut...

I find M&S really hit and miss, sizing wise, there seems to be no standard.

for example, ds, who was 3 in September, if in M&S size 5-6 trousers and tops and he is not at all plump.
