Over the last couple of years my youngest DD has put on a considerable amount of weight and this seems to be continuing, she would definitely be classed as obese. I am really concerned about her health and happiness. The question is, should I ask her directly about this along the lines of does she need help, is she happy with her weight, how about dieting etc. I don't want to appear interfering or critical, so should I just take the line that's she's a grown up and it's her life and let her get on with it and keep quiet. She has a pretty tough job and is well regarded at work, has just had a big promotion. She has a (very skinny) long term BF , who is very caring. She was hit very hard by her young cousin's death a couple of years ago as they were very close, which sort of goes along with the extra eating, although she's always been on the chubby side. I don't want to upset her which if I draw attention to her weight I am sure I will, but I sort of think as a mum I should face up to difficult/ sensitive issues in order to support her. What would others do in this situation?
Should women have equal pay and opportunities?
