> I see a trend here. It seems that many of us think that this teen has to work on self image and not worry so much about her weight.
This gal is going to worry about her weight no matter what... believe me I know... been there and done that...
so the topomax and counselling together will help...
but I am trying to suggest that helping her work on self esteem will help too...found that out eventually..
she seems a strong candidate for finding it out herself...
if she can make the cheering squad and is five-six and 170 and athletic and active she is not morbidly obese so well on her way to success...
she needs solid encouragement and positive support and that seems to be there...
now Mom needs positive support too...
that I hope she will find here...
heaven knows when I hit 170 at five six a while back I thought I looked pretty good after too long being too much more than that... and people thought so too...
kept telling me to stop losing weight LOLshe will get there and Mom, you will get through this...
the topomax will curb the binging...
bet she has lost interest in chocolate for starters...
