But sometimes, when a teen hears something like that from their mom, they don't exactly believe it all the time. If she is still convinced she wants to go on a diet, tell her to do what I did. I eat all regular foods, I just cut out the "bad" stuff. When she's hungry for a snack, tell her to make it something healthy, like a fruit, vegetable, etc. not the cookies, candy, chips, fast food, etc. I mean one is fine once and awhile, just not ALL the time. LOL Your daughter is no where near fat, but reducing the amount of the unhealthy foods might help her feel more secure with how she looks and make her not want to go on a diet. Ya know? This post might not make sense. Sorry!

Thank you, you are so sweet.. It makes total sense and you are so right...

Thank you again,
