How do I gently broach the idea of nutrition and cutting candy and junk from my dd12s diet?
She has gained a lot of weight this last year. She gets candy at school from her friends and the school store. She eats almost nothing of her lunch I pack, and then she scarfs down what she wants from that on the way to swim practice. She doesn't drink soda or juice, so at least she's not getting empty calories there.
She hasn't gotten too chubby yet--- but she's gained weight and is very buxom now... She swims daily but she's starting to not do well in swimming and I know it's all due to this weight gain...
I don't want her to feel like she needs to obsess about weight. I have btdt with my older dd when she was in middle school.
Any suggestions?
