Normal weight for 6 year olds = 46 My sisters weight = 57/58. My mum is getting at her for it. She has already ruined my self esteem by calling my fat and I am 130lbs. Now she has put my sister on a diet. This is very stupid I know. I have told mum this and she told me to get out of her business. I am very worried. I dont want my sister to get an eating disorder. Could this happen? By the way the diet was not recommened by a doctor it was out of a book (not sure which one) Thanks. bexxa [/quote] FAQ Keyword Search: Post Options Favorites Manager Notify me of new replies to this topic by email Notify me of new replies to this topic by private message Original Post helpful Posted at 11:38 am on Nov. 7, 2008 i am very sorry I have posted a similar thread but things have got worse and I need some advice.

Replies musical butterfly Posted at 11:50 am on Nov. 7, 2008 give her lots of excercise but make it fun Periwinkle Posted at 11:41 am on Nov. 7, 2008 Diets don't work. Lifestyle changes do. 6 is very young and she's at a very impressionable age. If your whole family decides to change to a healthier lifestyle, then she'll grow up hardly remembering anything different. DirtyConspiracy Posted at 11:40 am on Nov. 7, 2008 A diet probably isn't best for a 6 year old, considering they're still growing. It's best to make her eat healthy foods, cut down on sugary foods and do some exercise. Antigen Posted at 11:40 am on Nov. 7, 2008 depends on your height All 4 previous replies displayed.
