[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 705328, member: 4152"] We had stopped all mention of her weight and dieting for at least a year. and prior to that it may have been a good year as well. In other words, it is rarely mentioned by us anymore. She has gained a lot this last year. When our friend died of a weight related cause, it was mentioned again by me to consider WW. She seemed more or less ok. It is hard to describe the weirdness...she will complain about her weight...but if you dare mention the concept of going on a diet...she gets angry. At first we don't "fall for it." And if she complains about her weight, we are silent. But, then she will repeatedly mention how unhappy she is being "fat," as she puts it and eventually we give in and say something about trying to diet. At Christmas time, she mentioned her weight many times and seemed angry about it. Eventually, both of us fell for this insanity. She has beautiful eyes, a good heart and is very intelligent. She has been told this repeatedly. I homeschooled her for several years. Yes, our son is thin...my husband is not. I have been all over the place weight wise. I struggle to be a normal weight. Most of my life I've been considered normal weight. BUT, I struggle fairly often. Ive been on medications that cause weight gain and am on one now. A LOT of my motivation personally to stay normal weight is to better my health. In the last few months, she has had some trouble breathing and walking that seems to be due to her weight. Additionally, some pains in her knees and ankles. Additionally, diabetes runs in her biological family. PS Our son usually dresses VERY casually!!!! VERY. And she almost always gets more gifts than him. This year they got the same amount of gifts but the truth is she gets FAR FAR FAR more than him by 100 fold in the gift department. [/QUOTE]
