[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 594983, member: 1550"] Well, I'd think about another doctor before accepting the blame. First of all, certain medication makes even adults so hungry that in general people on psychotrophic medications gain weight and even those who have never been overweight before (like me) tend to gain on them. What medications does she take? I swear, the SSRI's I've taken have changed my metabolism too. As far as adaptive gym goes, did they get specific about why it would be bad for her? She has been very sick. After I had mono, my doctor MADE me take adaptive gym for a year and there was nothing strange about it. The kids were normal kids who were recovering from illness and injury. I'm not sure what everyone thinks is so inappropriate. Kids can be VERY cruel in gym class. Is that happening to your daughter? Is she embarassed to undress in front of the other girls? Showering is the absolute worst if you don't have a beautiful body. Do they make fun of her? I hated showering in front of the other girls, and at the time I was built pretty cute. I still hated it. By junior year I was cutting gym class. I would leave the builidng and take a nearby bus to the beach. To me, gym was torture. Don't let it get to this point with your difficult child. I would ask questions. Maybe more is going on than you know. [/QUOTE]
