Hi Jo, I saw your before and after photos and WOW! You look amazing!! That little pink 2 iece swimsuit, hot hot HOT!!!
I was overweight as a teenage girl; my choice of food was cereal. Every day after school. A big bowl of it. I had self esteem issues and food made me happy. My mom was also a great cook, and nothing was as great as leftovers the next day for a snack! Not blaming my mom, but wow, I truly LOVE food!!!
It took me 39 years to get a grip. I lost 68 lbs and then let myself go again. Emotional issues. Now I'm 45 and at it again--losing weight, that is.
I hope one day your daughter will realize that if her mom can do it, she can too! I wish I could go back into my 20's and lose the weight before I got bigger and bigger. Now I'm losing it again, and what do I have? A TON of saggy skin! And sagging boobs! I swear they are a foot long!
I tell myself a lot, "If only I'd realized long ago..."
You know? I mean, I KNEW I was fat, and I heard the stories from older women (My boobs sag, my butt sags, my stomach sags!) and I laughed it off, the usual 'woe is me adult talk!' hahaha. Well, it all turned out to be true.
Sorry I don't have any advice on how to make your daughter start on a better track. Just saying I've been there before myself. You have to get to the root of the problem making her eat. And like they say, she won't start to lose weight unless SHE WANTS TO. It's got to come from within. But I know you already know that. You look amazing!!!!!!!!! Hang in there! I'm not a mom, so I have no clue, but I know the other women and fathers here will continue to provide you with good advice and tips. :-)
