I just try to limit (when she is with me, I split time with her father) and make her be active. Hopefully it will work. I would hate to see her struggle as I did.


My youngest is a carbaholic. He takes after me.

what I did : Instead of eliminate, just reduce high carb foods by filling up on meat and veg first. Meal prep in my house is based on meat and veggie. And lots of herbs, spices and many kinds of fats. Some dairy like cream, cheese, sour cream, ricotta.

Boys drink s lot of water, and salt.

Most our meals are without grains. Wheat Belly the book changed my view of grains.

Your daughter has a growth spurt coming, a great time to help her slim down.

Its a tough job being a mom , and Im sure you know what to do. Youve got this.
