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?

Difficult... I can't really advise except to say I have had critical remarks from my Mum about my weight and while I know she's right and it's because she cares/is concerned, the wrong approach can seem harsh or cause upset. I hope it all works out ok.

@SomeMichGuy 🤷‍♀️ I don't think I added any insight or said anything he doesn't already know, but thanks

@helsbels You added your wording and experience and you are a lovely young woman yourself, so it helps reinforce a main reply type. 😊

More votes for rational points of view helps.

And you're "good people", so there!
