My daughter is becoming obese.
I dont want to destroy her ego. How do I broach the subject? Has anyone been in the same situation?

@JimboSaturn Walking/Exercise is helpful, but limiting caloric intake is really the key to losing weight - I fooled myself for years, thinking I could lose weight by exercise...
Eating is comforting...reducing discomfort and finding other was of being comforted are keys to helping...
Not easy to figure out how to reduce it - but small steps are usually the best if they can stick...
And always communicate, even when we are dopey parents, being present counts a lot...

@fun4us2b You *can* lose weight by exercise, but the key is to exercise AND eat better, because the *amount* of exercise to lose the energy equivalent of a pound of fat is just too much work to do all the time.
