How can i help improve my daughter's self-esteem in spite of her weight?

Encourage her: Try to avoid discussions of weight or size and don't let relatives or friends comment on her weight. If she's interested in becoming more fit, make sure there is healthy food available. Encourage her to find activities that she enjoys. When shopping, find clothes that fit well and she likes. Point out women that are smart or strong as role models (not just pretty or skinny).

You Are Her Mirror: Clearly, u deeply care about & want 2help ur daughter. But i wonder how *u* feel about ur daughter's weight as u used the words "in spite of." >>one of the most helpful things u might do 2 4 ur daughter is 2examine ur own judgments about weight as well as ur own anxieties about ur weight. Consider reflecting upon the messages u took in growing up & possibly sharing ur reflections w ur daughter.

Self Esteem: Validate her character, help her understand her worth apart from her appearance. I realize this is a tall order so consult with a mental health professional who can help your daughter see herself more accurately. Also model good eating and exercising habits, ask her to go for a walk, go to the gym together and most important use your empathy to understand and support her. Best.

Manage her weight: Obesity is extremely serious, especially in a young person. If she's actually good at a few things, has a work ethic, good interpersonal skills. has achieved some difficult things by her own effort, this will help. But it's most important that she achieve weight reduction. My feeling is that bariatric surgery is usually the best answer when obesity becomes a real cosmetic problem.
