It sounds like the mom doesn't want to take any responsibilty. Who's buying her the McDonald's? You need to fix yourself and lead as an example first.

I know you can't control everything your child eats, but why would you wait for her to be nearly 300lbs to seek help? You're supposed to take care of her

The mother did this to her child and now the child has the pay the price. Unbelievable.

[wendywilliamswig]

poor girl, it's so hard having a weight issue especially when youre so young.

[jinquinn]

Awe she seems like a sweet girl! I hope she could get the help she needs and start feeling better about herself

The fact that the mom prolly fed the kid sm all through her life and is now saying SAVE MY OBESE CHILD is sad

[tqyykmn]

*lets her daughter eat anything she wants and

Who else isn’t the thinnest but isn’t obese like you overweight but you look curvy/thick but you’re too young to be like this.

edit: i commented this over a year ago when i was vv insecure but i’ve learnt to love myself and accept that my weight does not define me and tbh it’s kinda comforting knowing so many people also struggle with the same issues and that i wasn’t alone. so to anyone who reads this comment just love yourself even if you don’t want to just try and ily and have a good day

[irubzxo]

[choosnau]

[danieladiaz]

Its been almost 2 years, where is this girl

[julissavalencia]

Honestly its all the parents fault 1000%

[craftybeans]

When she becomes healthy, she gonna say “SAVE MY OBEESE MOM”

[keyboardsmashes]

Mom: she has always been healthy, she just keeps gaining weight.
Miranda: *eats potato chips and subway*

[sophiahanani]

I can't believe her parents did this to her, they let their own weight get out of hand and as a result their daughter gained a massive amount of weight.

[bbyjj]

It's easier to lose weight now when you are young than when you are older

[cubeschool]

Mom: She eats healthy
1:25 : Subway and lays chips. Way to go

My little Cousin is the exact same way. Literally. Her Parents have been told to cut her back on bad foods but it's like they don't really really care. She eats till she's sick, if we get to my Grandmas (she lives next door to our Grandma so she's there like everyday) and she cooked for us and she already ate not even 10 minutes ago she'll eat a full meal again, if there is only a little bit left she'll fight for it so no one can have it, if someone put something aside for later she'll eat it. It's horrible and I feel so bad for her because she does get picked on. She's also eleven and I'm 22 and she's already way bigger than me. She's in sports but some how manages to "get hurt" so she doesn't have to participate. It honestly hurts me so bad seeing her go on a downward spiral and her parents won't do much to help.
