Just a quick reminder that when she says things like that, don't disagree, VALIDATE. Our inclination is to say "you don't look fat I think you look great!" But that is invalidating how they feel. You certainly don't want to AGREE with her either, the idea is just to acknowledge her feelings. "You sound anxious about your weight, is that how you are feeling?" "I don't know, just feeling depressed I guess." I'm sorry you feel depressed, is there anything I can do to help?"
