Just curious about what the physical signs were that your daughter's friend was showing. My 18 yr old D is also very obese. It is mainly around her middle. At the risk of sounding crude, it looks as if she has an "inner tube" around her waist. She has dieted before and has been able to drop 20 lbs. but within a month's time, it ballooned back plus some. All of this was in the middle of her actively playing softball. She's 5' 3" and weighs approx. 215. I'm very concerned about her weight. I have taken her to an endocrinologist and they found nothing. Very curious about what hyperinsulinemia and PCOS is.
Also, so glad to hear about GBO. I do wish she were still posting. I got so much wisdom from her and still get lots from you as I read these posts and keep up with you guys. It helps me to try to keep my life in perspective. Just knowing that I'm not the only one that has marital difficulties is a help.
Great to hear that your son is doing well with college. I know you are so proud of him.
I DO think you were right to speak with your D's friend's parents. I know I would appreciate it if I were in that same situation.
