Slyph--take her under your wing in all arenas. The fat fucks won't ever know. She will be saved. Please, if you can!

I hate that our society seems to tolerate this kind of child abuse.
I told her she doesn't need surgery, and that losing weight is very simple
When you get fatter you produce new fat cells. When you get thinner your fat cells shrink. Then you have those fat cells demanding to be plumped back up.
Losing weight is about fighting cravings. You can win the fight by having lots of will power or you can win the fight by reducing the cravings. Fat removal surgery will help reduce the cravings, making the fight more winnable.

Idk how to fix the problem with childhood obesity. BUT I think Child Protective Services needs to label prolonged childhood obesity under medical neglect. It does effect life prospectives and society. No kid should get that bad. Hamparents need to be punished for this.

I get that she's a kid, and best of luck to her. However, even with craptastic parents I feel like kids know the connection between food quantity and weight. They may not get quality. Also, she's 16... Isn't that the internet generation? She has access to the info even if she wasn't taught it.

And I get that, but she's just to a point where she's old enough to start doing things on her own. Like make her own food etc. And she seems to want to work on it. So I'll try to help out. But if it turns into a situation where she obviously doesn't want to make the effort to change, I'm out. She's old enough to decide that for herself, for sure.

Either way you're a kind person.
