Hi everyone, I am bothered by worry about my kids health. My daughter is overweight and I am so worried that she has something wrong. She had a blood test a while back and her cholesteral was a little high. She will be 18 in july and don't know how to approach her without her getting mad. I am so sick to my stomach with worry. I look at her and can't even enjoy how wonderful she is because I am so consumed with worry. Mind you, she has no symptoms of anything (knock on wood) Any help out there.....

Try a new diet for the whole family, say you want everyone to eat healthier and better, that way it doesn't single anyone out and will be true, eating healthy is great for everyone, not just someone overweight. Add lean meats, fresh fruits and veggies to your meal plans.

Good luck, hope this helps.

Great idea from JP...and to follow along those lines...why not get everyone involved in some family physical activity time as well. Hiking, playing football, swimming, biking...even the active video games for Wii or Xbox can be good exercise!

A combination of good diet and physical avtivity should ensure that your daughter's lipids will decrease, and she is still young enough to make these healthy adjustments life-long changes.:)
