Y'all, I am really struggling with how to deal with 2 of my girls. I have very carefully tried to warn them about the dangers of overeating, not exercising, etc. I haven't done it like my grandfather done it to me. He called me fat before I ever even had an issue. I was skinny scrawny and he was calling me fat. It made me want to eat. I've never treated my kids like that. But I have controlled their portions. Not just their portions but the other 4 as well. Even my stick children. Lol. We would eat low carb the majority of the time. I only bought zero sugar drinks for their lunches and supper... then they drink water the rest of the day. We moved in with the people we moved in with and the 2 that I've been most concerned about have gained. My oldest is the one that concerns me the most. Her biological father is a diabetic. He has been hospitalized for it many times, has been in a coma from it and even his grandmother died from diabetic related problems. She went from 200 lbs to 220 when we moved in here. My other one went from 129 to 150. The lady that we live with buys them candy weekly, the husband is the youth pastor and he buys donuts every Sunday morning. Lovely people with hearts of gold but they don't suffer with a weight problem or food addiction problems. My girls do. I don't know what to do. When I'm not around, they eat whatever they want. School starts back for them on Wednesday and I know that they both will eat their lunch and scarf down a friends lunch as well if given to them. I've talked healthy advice until I'm blue in the face. What do I do now??
