“My daughter is overweight and this is very hard for me. All my life I’ve fought my own battles with weight, and I don’t want her to have to struggle in the same ways that I have. She is starting to be teased in school, (she’s in third grade) and often heads right for the kitchen when she comes home. I can understand why she’s turning to food – it’s the same way I handle my emotions. How can I help my daughter when I, too, struggle with this?”
