[QUOTE="derry60, post: 1562589, member: 407978"] I was going to suggest maybe the young ones can encourage your daughter. The trouble is, she is 18 and you do not really have that much control over what she eats. Yes, your wife may bring sweets or cakes into the house, personally although it is difficult if it were me I would stop that. Do you smoke? I ask because if you do, perhaps telling her that if she can make changes to her diet you will give up smoking, and if you do smoke then you would have to mean it. At the end of the day because of her age, you can only do so much as painful as it is. Your daughter is going to have to be the one to look after her health. Only when she becomes a parent if she does, will your daughter realise how difficult this is for you as her father to cope with. I really hope that she sees the light on her health [/QUOTE]
