Heartbroken tonight.... my lovely, slightly chubby, kind and caring 9 year old daughter has been crying as someone told her that she is fat at school. She is overweight. She knows it. She said she doesn't want to be fat and lazy any more. She said sometimes she is too lazy to go to the loo so she holds on. How do I encourage activity in a child who has become inactive and overweight and therefore for her to be active is actually bloody hard work? Also a single mum with 3 other DC and work full time. She wants to change but seems scared to start.
