[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 175518, member: 1722"] Thanks everyone! We've always had conversations about being active and eating healthfully. She's very good about making good choices, understands that junk and treats are okay if they're not all the time and that being active makes your body strong. We had a talk yesterday and I think this stems ***alot*** from her being the biggest of her same-aged friends. She easily could pass for a third or fourth grader. She seems to be self-conscious about looking older than the other girls nearest her age or in her grade level. Many of these kids still look like "little" girls, while Duckie looks more like a tween. We also compared her to her friends, most heavier and a few thinner. She didn't think her heavier friends were fat and acknowledged she was thinner than they are. So I explained that she wasn't seeing her body as it really is and she seems to feel a little better. For now... [/QUOTE]
