my sister gained a lot of weight when she was a teenager due to her thyroid. my doc had my thyroid screened because he sometimes uses thyroid hormone to treat bipolar II.
a big thing that helped me lose weight was cutting soda almost completely out of my diet. i'll have a can once or twice a week, but that's it. if she wants something fizzy, i like juice with seltzer water. otherwise, lots of water. small meals multiple times a day.
13 really was a crummy age, i hope she can start losing weight and feeling better about herself.
how are you doing?
