I have a step daughter age 11, that visit us every other weekend. She has gained so much weight in the past 2 years. Age 11 she is weighs 125 lbs.
My husband brought it to his ex wife attention of his concerns about her weight and the mother was defensive and said there isn't a problem. But I am sorry there is!!!
She gained 35 lbs in 6 months back in 2009/2010, that is when the problem weight started and she has continued to gain and is now 125 lbs in Jan 2012. From 2010-2011 she gained 27 lbs. She is in the obese range on the BMI Calculator.
What can I do considering we only get her every other weekend? I do limit her food intake here at our house but her mother on the other hand eat out every night and takes them out for ice cream and such all the time. But I am concerned about her well being.
I need help on this matter because I don't know what else to do since every other weekend just isn't making a difference.
