My dad is almost 500 pounds. I have been searching for help for him and for the rest of us. You have no idea what your words are doing for me. I am reading your writings and feeling SUCH a commiseration. I am almost 30...the mother of 2 beautiful children and SCARED to death that I will someday be huge...I, too, am tall and no one calls me fat, though I hover around 200 pounds regularly. I don't want my kids having a fat parent. It sucks. Thanks for writing so honestly. I really need to hear that others have been through this...thanks. Hi.

I have 12 year old daughter who is putting on a little weight... and fast! We have had a VERY stressful year and I know that is part of it... but her hormones are kicking in, and I know she is turning to food for every difficulty in life that she runs into. (Sounds familiar to me :) Anyway, I know you don't have the answers, but obviously you have thought about this a little. I am terrified to say anything to her for fear of causing self-esteem issues or ANY of the other million things that can go wrong in a 12 year old girls head about weight! I have always talked about eating healthy and tried to teach my children about healthy food choices and eating habits... but I am not always the best example. I don't know where to start, or what to say! I feel I NEED to say something... mostly for her healths sake, but I am also VERY afraid for her dealing with mean and hurtful comments form people as she grows up... I remember... please write back soon if you have ANY ideas, suggestions, books, hope... anything please. Thank you!!! Debi Hi, I am not sure how I found your ‘blog’, but I am not sure where to turn.
