My younger daughter, nearly 16, is very conscious of her weight, in particular her thighs (which are quite chunky, sorry, but true) She's forever moaning that she's huge in comparison to her friends - she's a bit bigger than them to be fair, but they're all very skinny! She looks lovely though and is most probably a size 12 at most, but is very self conscious about her legs. I cook healthy meals etc etc but then she goes and buys MacDonalds, sweets, makes huge amounts of chocolate milkshakes at home etc etc.
Have heard of great new nutrition system from US called Body by Vi, suggested we both try it, not to lose weight necessarily, but just to feel healthier, more energy etc etc - lots of people take it to bulk up so it's not really a weight loss thing. Of course she has now gone off in massive sulk saying I think she's fat etc etc. Can't win. Doesn't help that her elder sister, nearly 18, has said, "Mum, you called her fat." I didn't!! I just said that she'd probably feel good on this regime. Damned if I do and damned if I don't! Expect to be flamed for this but just want her to feel as good as she can about herself and she's obviously unhappy so trying to help! I am not quite sure how to go about this more tactfully.
