I completely understand what you are going through. My daughter is just about 12, she has been overweight since she was very young. Its odd because my son is completely opposite. Its a struggle to get him to eat. She keeps asking me about diets lately she sees on t.v and I keep telling her she dosent need to diet, she is fine she just needs to cut back on portion, but then I feel like a complete hypocrite because thats my biggest issue. I havent told her about the surgery and I almost dont want to because i dont want her to get it in her head since im doing this she can do it too! Shes a active kid, has been in sports and dance since she was four. She just eats alot like her mom. My sister has four kids and only one is overweight. I dont understand. They all get the same amount of food as my kids. Anyways just wanted to share that.:blushing:
