my ex was the same way, i was 19 when i had kayla and at 19 you think hey i am having a baby i can eat what i want, wrong, when i came home i was heavy, my ex a jerk ayways, did not even want to touch me, so i busted my butt and i got down to 119 the right way . he still wanted nothing to do with me. i left him and came home when kayla was 2 i knew it was not a good marriage and i wanted better for her. after him being in germany for 6 months after me he finally came home we were togeathr for 3 months(i think he just wanted to have some place to live. now i am by no mean stuck up and i have no problems with heavy people. my wieght as always gon up and down and my new husband i kinds chunky and abby my 12 year old is on the heavy side. but he left me for a 300lb women! i like her well not so much now they have 2 kids of there own and after kenny got mad at kayla 3 years ago he came into my home and chocked her. i have always tryed to keep that part of my marraige from her that was her dad so out of respect i was always kind. but to be honnest i was hurt well on many levels but here i lost all this weight and he left me for a heavy women i have to say i do not have much self confidence or an ego at all but the ego

HI, I gotta go with janetlz on this one...I would first talk to my doctor, about keeping her healthy, and then the school counselor for help with her esteem issues.


I am not a vegetarian or a vegan. I don't eat much meat, but that's because DH won't eat it and the kids just don't enjoy it. But we do eat chicken, fish and lots of beans in place of it. Vegan, otoh, seems to me more of a lifestyle than a form of diet. You really need to know what you're doing, and there's many reasons to be vegan, and I doubt the desire to be thin is one of the top ten.


The sooner your DD gets away from him the better. Good luck. Don't be afraid to ask professionals around you for help.

her dr. has talked to her and so have i and my mother. she droped out of collage because of the troll. she has been to many councilers before when she was cutting, she does not talk she is very stubborn and pig headed and will never admit when she is wrong. it is tuff she is 19 and sence she has been with him she has becme very selfcentered and thinks the world owes her somehing. that is not how i raised her at all. i know we all do stupid stuff when we are kids and that is how we learn but not at the expensse of her health. it bother me to because my other daughter is 12 and a little heavy and then jaime who is 7 the other have of my twins. is already worried about her looks and is just as stubborn as kayla. i just wish she would come to her sences and get rid of him but kayla never had selfconifidence but she did have an ego and some how he deflated it. i know i can not save her but
