No, I am not overweight myself, never have been. I don't really struggle with my weight, but I compete in triathlons, so I am always training (6 days a week) and am very aware of what I eat, and how it affects my weight.
Yes, she weighs herself on Monday and Friday. I know it sounds harsh. But her weight has been an issue for years and years. This way she is able to see the consequence of her unhealthy choices ... and that's the way we talk about it, health. Her Dad's family has several heath issues (diabetes, heart issues, arthritis) all of which can be connected back to their lifestyle. And when we talk about her weight, it is always about getting healthy, not skinny. I don't want her to end up with a health issue later in life because I didn't do everything in my power to help her.
