I would like to thank you henry for the tips you have given me for my daughter. I have had a talk with her yesterday about her weight and i said wat i felt without hurting her feelings as much as possible and then i let her reed the message i wrote about her in the site i could see that she was really hurt by this but she understood as well how woried i am about her and she finally let me weigh her i was however shocked by how much she weighs she weighs 232 pounds and is only 5.2 her waist is 39 inches i told her that this is a problem and that she has to lose weght and that i am going to watch whatever she eats from now on and that i am going to be really hard on her from now on and i have informed the whole family not to give her junkfood anymore. She feels that i am on her back and i don't know if i am being to hard on her but on the other side she is very obese and if i don't tell her honestly who will. well today we have started and already there were problems this morning when i woke up she was sitting on the couch watching telly and eating pizza so i threw a fit i know it is wrong and i threw the pizza in the bin she started crying and went to her room. I went up to her an hour later and only to find that she had food in her room and was stuffing her face again. Well we talked again and this time i think i got threw to her only that evening something embaressing happenes to her we were sitting in the garden and then calissa broke the chair when she sat in it, she started crying and said she will do anything she can to lose the weight so i hope all goes much better from now on. Sorry i took up so much space but this is the only place where i can tell poeple about my feelings.

tough love some times is the only way. i understand why you must bee that way since it will harm her health. i wish you all the best luck in the world with your daughter.
