12 year old weight

[cocktailanddreams]

I feel like I'm constantly worrying if DD is over weight, she is carrying extra weight on her tummy, hasn't started periods yet which may be a factor. Eats and exercises well. Probably got a lot of height to grow,

She is self conscious as many of her friends are taller and slimmer so would love her to feel confident about herself. I know its a difficult age and many changes, however I'm looking for similar experiences.

Is she overweight? There is no use worrying about it if you dont even know if she is. Check her height and weight and if she is overweight start doing something about it. It isn't going to magically drop off her when she starts her periods.

To look at her she has a pudgy tummy, rest of body just growing as you'd expect. In comparison to her friends probably not as slim.
I haven't weighed her, avoid using scales to make an issue of it
