My dd has been crying this morning, I found her in her room upset , took a long time to get out off her what was bothering her and then she finally told me that she is not happy within herself and feels like everyone around her is skinny, I’ve told her that’s she beautiful and perfect (she’s not skinny but she’s not massive either) , teenage years are so hard , any help or advice would be appreciated.
I’ve told
Her we can start eating healthier and she cried and said I’ve tried that before and it doesn’t work , it takes to long ! I said it can’t just happen overnight you have to start somewhere. Advice off what else I can say or do ? She seems to have lost motivation even with schoolwork the last few days
