Hello my name is Eileen. I am a mother of 4. Three boys and 1 girl. My daughter Ellen is only 13 and 5ft3in, and 232. I don't even know what size she is any more because she doesn't let me or any of her friends go shopping with her. When she comes home from shopping she goes and puts her clothes on to show me. She puts on her clothes and comes out. One day she came out with a shirt that was like 2inches above her belly button. I asked her if it was a belly shirt and she said no it was a size 15 shirt a normal shirt(in womens plus sizes). Then she said that she thought it fit perfectly. Please help

hi, i am 34 and a mother of 3. my daughter isn't overweight but she has grown alot in the buttock area over the last year. i see that she is getting concerned with her weight and images she see's on tv,etc. i was wondering do any of you think that a big beautiful and loved comp/or fashion show would help boost the self esteem of our children. it would be a loving and postivitve enviroment i'd make sure of that. good idea or bad.

Your daughter obviosly doesn't seem to know that she is overweight. You need to let her know that she is obeese. when she said that the size 15 shirt fit perfectly and yet her belly hung out of her montrostic body, i assumed that she hadn't known about the problem she was encountering. i am 26 and i am due in 3 months. though im young, i know quite a lot about kids because im a 6th grade teacher. i hope ive helped enough.
