My stepdaughter is 8 she is almost 5ft she weighs 140lb I notice she always takes the bigger cake and will eat mashed potatos unfilled their gone drinks tons of soda and always wants to eat. Lately I've been on her about it she wears her mothers size 16 jeans and we have to shop for her in adult section. Her mom tells her and me she is the perfect weight for her height but her stomach looks so large almost pregnant and her bottom is the same. My heart goes out to her she has more cellulite than over weight adults. It start arguments between her mom and I because grandma and mom tell her I'm mean that she is NOT OVER WEIGHT they are going to kill this kid with a stroke. She is out of breath walking to the bathroom what do I do I can't afford to keep buying wardrobes every other month or let mom and grams keep feeding her junk

Hi.
Don't push your stepdaughter too hard. She's slightly overweight.
However, this is the issue you have to discuss with her mother. Explain your arguments why you think she's been eating unhealthy and too much. Keep the junk food away from the table whenever you can and introduce healthier diet, such as fruit and vegetable snacks between or instead regular meals.

Hi socrates35,
When I was 15 I weighed 135lbs and was 5ft 3inch. I understand you want her to lose weight for her health but at 8 years old she doesn't care how she looks. You need to make her stop eating junk food and exercise to lose weight, children follow their parents eating habits.
