Hi, we are new on here.
We had taken the decision to go on a diet and do it from home rather than the normal Slimming World classes that we used to attend. We are thinking about possibly doing it by calorie counting.
The main problem we have is our ten year old daughter, who probably doesn't get as much exercise as she should. This day and age, with computers and multiple channel tv and games etc does play out like we used to when all we had was 3 tv channels. I know she's conscious of have a bit of a belly on her and is worried in case people as school call her names. We would like her to lose weight but at the same time do it so she doesn't become obsessed with her weight. I know she gets upset when there's clothes she can't have because of her belly. She's quite tall for a ten year old. She's fine in every way apart from her belly.
Can anyone help with advice about how to help her without it becoming an obsession but at the same time pointing out the health benefits.
Many thanks
Steve
