i have a 12 year old dd and her doctor has recommended weight watchers so im going to do this with her but i feel she needs kids her own age to help her and to cheer her on she is very sweet but just addicted to food and sometimes sneaks food without even realizing what she is doing. i have 4 girls from 14 to 5 and they are very emotional so if im dealling with one the other 3 feel left out just wanted my daughter to know that yes there are other children her age going at this to and that she is not alone

Jackie, I think many kids are shy and embarassed about posting, but I think many read the messages on the board. My daughter also sometimes goes to the chat group with Lucy on Wednesday evenings on this site, which is very helpful. Lucy is a dietician. - Jenny

Your daughter can post a message on the preteens bulletin board on this site. There are a lot of kids that post, who are going through the same thing. They help and support each other. My daughter likes that board. - Jenny
