<p>Could she add the free Lose It! app to her phone to log her food (don’t log exercise, as that messes up the food log)?</p>
<p>^^^^I’m sure she could, but the point of this whole thread is that anything she does has to come from her, not from her mother telling her to do it.</p>
<p>My daughter and I watched the documentary Super Size Me about the fast food industry and that cured her of eating fast food. I later bought the book Fast Food Nation and left it around hoping she’d read it and she did. That book, the details about how animals are raised and slaughtered, and what is actually in the meat cured her of any fast food cravings. She started making healthier choices because she was grossed out. ;)</p>
<p>I was very sensitive to my mothers comments or commentary about weight because I could see that outward appearance was so important to her. I gained 5-10 lbs when I left for college but lost it after a short while. I’ve been the same size since my 20’s but still bristle when my mom comments on my appearance. She’s never been overly critical at all but I recognize our differing priorities. Because of this I’ve been able to take a different approach with my D. Every relationship is different. </p>
