I was talking to my sister yesterday after she got back from a doctor appointment with her daughter, my neice. We'll call my neice Kate. My sister is upset because the doctor said that Kate is extremely overweight. Kate is 9 years old, and she weighs 145 pounds. I agree with the doctor....she is extremely overweight. She is allowed to eat all the time, and anything she wants. I feel so bad for her that I can hardly stand it. She is made fun of at school and everything. My sister is very upset also. I don't want to push blame off on anyone, but I do feel that it's my sister who is at fault. She has another daughter who is 6, and she has no weight problems at all. My sister is angry with me because I agree with the doctor. I am very close to my neices, and I want to help so badly. But I don't know what to do. Any suggestions? Thanks.
