[QUOTE="Shari, post: 164419, member: 1848"] I wish I knew. I posted about her bikini in WC last week or so, she is SO overweight and it just compounds the problem - she insists on dressing like a supermodel, then everyone laughs at her, then she isolates herself further. She wants to take cheerleading class or gymnastics, but honestly, I don't think they'll take her, IF I can even get her mom to agree to letting me take her. She's just turned 11 and physically, her fitness is SAD. She is so overweight she can't get off the floor without crawling up something, and even if they will take her, I think she'll give up before she makes any progress with it. I've tried encouraging dance to start with, but she won't hear of it. She wants glamour. Cheerleaders are glamorous. If she's a cheerleader, she's glamourous. I tried taking her shopping for new clothes with the suggestions here, and it was a bust. She went straight to skimpy despite everyone's attempts to ooh and ahh the sexy clothes with coverage. We're getting her hair straightened, but not til the next time she's with us. We have her so little, really, that I'm just not sure what impact I can have, but she desperately needs something. And we're trying to figure out how to have her more so we can get her the tutoring, counseling, and into activities. Her mom would cut off easy child's hand if she thought it would hurt husband.
