Shannon, you're so very right. The pressures on young girls are amazing. I do think her goal is reasonable on her frame- she's not looking to be model skinny, but would like to be able to shop in the trendy stores. Around here they only go to size 12 or 14, which makes her feel terrible when she's out with her friends and nothing fits. As far as sneaking food goes- we don't buy the bad stuff anymore, and haven't for a long time. She was eating extras here and there at school, which I think is pretty normal, but I don't believe she has for the last month or so. I suspect exercise would help boost her metabolism but I really don't want to be the one pushing things. I think my job is just to be supportive and make sure she has the tools she needs to do things smart. She's eating better and adding more fat. Hopefully things will start working for her again.
