I have a 7 year old daughter Lily. There is no need to tell me I am a bad mum by the way,

We don't usually have many crisps lying around the house but when we do they are gone in around an hour. When she goes round to her nana's house she eats loads of chocolate, usual within the first 30mins.

I admit I buy her sweets when she asks but I know what a healthy diet is. She is 35lbs overweight and I would like to know how to crack her habit nicely as not to upset her.
We have an exercise plan but it is hard for us both to stick too.

I'm just wondering why you are asking a teen forum for advice? Lol.

You're her role model. Don't buy shit and exercise with her. Seriously.

Show her a picture of a really fat person and tell them she's going to look like that if she doesn't stop.

Try speaking with Lily's pediatrician.  This truly is not the best place to get advice, doll.  We are not trained professionals, and most of us are just teenagers.

Best of luck to you and Lily, sweetie.

It's up to you to make sure she eats well. As for exercise, unless she's playing, it's not healthy.

Stop buying junk food, set limits with your family, and get her active. It's not about her feelings, it's about her health.

Um, you'll just have to tell her that she has to stop eating that stuff. And if she starts exercising with you, give her little rewards for every couple pounds she loses. Like, a trip to the park or a movie or a new toy. And buy her healthy sweets. Sweetened banana chips are yummy =D

You expect a 7 year old to have self-control? If you allow her to stuff her face with junk food she will.

There is no way to help her without upseting her at least a little bit. Replace junk food with yummy fruits/veggies/yogurt etc.. Try to make it fun for her, by using a reward system. Like if she eats healthily (and doesn't complain much) for a certain amount of time reward her with a fun outing (preferably one with walking-like a museum or zoo). hope this helps... Feel free to PM me :)
