Daughter (5) is worrying about her weight.

She keep saying she wants to cut out 'bad' stuff and only eat salad things for meals. I'm a bit worried that she'll get a complex. She is overweight, we had a letter from the local health authority (they do weight checks at certain ages here). But we haven't mentioned anything directly to her about it. What can I do to mitigate her worries? I'm worried.We've already said we love her as she is and it doesn't matter, but school kids can be cruel.Edit: Both of us parents are overweight, but we are careful what we feed our kids anyway, we have a son (9) who is perfectly on his ideal weight.Edit edit: Both of us parents are currently watching what we eat as well, so maybe she got a bit of it from what we've said about losing weight ourselves, even though we try not to mention it around her.Edit edit edit: Thanks for your advice, I think we'll stick with what she wants to do for now, and try to guide her into eating nutritious low-fat accompaniments to the salads/veggies. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2tt2WfT
