A large portion of my side of the family is on the obese side. I was until I lost 60 pounds last year. My daughter is 7 and it appears she has the physical characteristics of my family. At 7 years old, she is 52 inches tall and weighs 80 pounds. 80 pounds seems like a lot for 7 but she is very tall for her age. She has been off the chart percentage wise since she was born.

She has been so much bigger than normal her whole life, we have paid very close attention to her diet. She mostly eats fruit as a snack. We keep a good eye on her diet, but don't restrict anything when she goes to a friends house, etc.

Fast food wise, the only thing we get any more is Subway. We stopped everything else last fall when I started losing weight.

My family is like you Mustang. My mom sent her a bunch of shitty candy for Easter and I tossed it. She didn't care at all. She understands that she needs to eat healthy.
