Guest guest Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 Thank you to all of you who responded to my questions about how to handle the problem with my overweight Granddaughter. She lives about six hours away, so being there for her when she needs support is difficult.But I have decided to make sure that I talk to her once a week and to bring up the subject of weight and how to handle the teasing. Her mother is difficult at times so I don't know how she will respond to my concerns but I will try to talk to her and let her know that I care and will try to help in any way that I can. I hate it that I brought so many painful memories back to some of you. This is just what I want to prevent for Indigo. Thank you for your help and your input. One of my daughters was overweight as a child and it was hard at times to make sure that she grew up with her head held high and good self esteem. I don't believe in diets either but we talked and when she did decide that she wanted to try a diet as a young teen, we did it together. She has alot of spunk and modeled when she was in high school. She had a great time in college and met a young man who fell head over heels for her. Today, she could still stand to lose 20 or 30 pounds but is not obese. She still has a terrific sense of humor and an uncommon amount of " common sense " . Perhaps, she can be of some help to her neice. As for the bullies- they don't know the wrath of a doting grandma but they are about to find out! Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
