Agree here. My daughter is almost 11 and she is heavy. But I see alot of myself in her. I have a feeling she is not tolerant of carbs just as I am, but at this age I am extremely hesitant to cut out whole groups of food for her. 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.
