Thinthinker Yes she is overweight. When I see her with her class she looks huge but she also seems "bigger boned" than the rest. She is very sneaky and does what it takes to NOT take a shower. Her Mother used to be heavier and her aunts are at a minimum I would say 300 to ? so they "aid and abet her". If you know what I mean. We live in a rural community so I don't think they are into comprimse much. I will ask my SIL if she has talked to them but I have to be careful because of her family and history (she is tiny now) because she is understandably sensitive about this issue.
Thanks....
Kat We had someone selling a book at work of pictures of New York...of course, when you open it many of the pages had the towers. Like you said it just makes you hesitate for a second everytime you see something like that.
My niece is 15 and has the least amount of willingness to diet of anyone I have ever known. Back to being "aided" in her trouble this is just one example. For Christmas I made those haystacks...chow mein noodles or cereal covered in chocolate. I had set out a huge plate of them and my niece stood by the plate and ate one after another until the plate was empty. Her Mom said nothing so I didn't dare either. I know her aunts on her Mom's side talk to her about their weight and how they want to help her (it comes better from my SIL own sisters) but it's like she is deaf to them. I did get her to go walking with me once last summer but that was it. I will try again in the Spring.
Thanks...
Okay 2Cute I ordered a bellydancing tape.
I don't know what you did to me putting that idea in my head, but I guess it is partly my fault for telling you to think out of the box. Anyway, I went to read up on it and got intrigued. It seems a good way to get in touch with your body - something I need to do again. I refrained from buying any of the outfits.
Thank You I think.
