Teenage Obesity: I understand your distress about your daughter. For her age -14 years and height of 5’ 3 inches,- weighs 130lbs Is overweight. Have a Heart to Heart Talk with her about her weight and body image; tell her you will support her in her plan to lose weight; and then • See a Nutritionist for Diet • Exercise Plan • Therapist for stress- “It is NOT what you eat- It Is WHAT is eating You!
