Don't want to give DD a complex about her weight. I wouldn't even say she is overweight at all she's about 10 stone and 5 foot 6 she insists on wearing size 10 but is more a 12-14. As a baby, toddler and child she had real issues with food linked to sensory issues (HF ASD). I admit I was soft as we triallef the "when she's hungry enough she'll eat it" mantra but she wouldn't she didn't seem to have an appetite so ended up with a very bland diet- peas, plain pasta, cheddar and raspberries -that was it for years . She was off the centile underweight till puberty.
Puberty seems to have triggered her appetite but her taste is very beige. She used to do loads of exercise but quit and shows no interest in any form of exercise. She will get a bus rather than walk 5 minutes. Her diet is awful and if I don't buy it she uses her own money. She consumes about 8 cheese strings a day, sausage rolls and her ideal dinner would be macaroni cheese! She will have a bit of veg but just to shut us up! She had spent Christmas money on kfc and macdonalds in one day.
Obviously I haven't mentioned it to her but she has a lot of cellulite and I'm concerned by how unhealthy she is but if I mention I'm accused of thinking she is fat. She will eat a huge dinner then be searching for snacks within 10 minutes of dinner. I have offered loads of offers sport wise even offered to pay her to walk the dog "can't be bothered". It's not a weight issue more a lazy attitude and 0 motivation !
