PupZilla tells us more.
Hello everyone, Op here First off, holy crap i didnt think this would get published, but when i got the email that it did, i HAD to look at the comments. Secondly, she doesnt live with me most of the time, she lives with her dad and visits me one day a week and every other weekend. I am there for her and we talk a lot and are very close. Thirdly, i have NO idea why she said this. I talked to her after her friend left and she told me that she is very confident in herself, but feels that she wants to be a size 0, not a size 2. She is very open with me and i can spot when she is not being truthful from a mile away. I explained to her how it was highly inappropriate and she seemed to understand. The friend that she had over is one friend that neither me nor her father likes. She has influenced my daughter in an unhealthy way. If my ex or myself notices any more behavior like this then we will take her to therapy. My daughter definitely meant leukemia because when i asked her about it, she told me that it was not anorexia or bulimia that she was talking about. She is very confident with her body and i actually have to tell her to cover up sometimes because of what she wears. Anyway, I spoke with her and she now understands how bad cancer is and what it does to people. I will definitely be keeping a closer eye on her now and her father will too. And to those of you who said i was eavesdropping, she was in the living room, and i was coming down the stairs.

I had thyroid cancer. It did not help me lose weight. In fact, I had a rare blood disorder from cancer (low blood calcium caused by surgical trauma) that makes me walk like I'm drunk, and again from this cancer, I am paralyized in the the throat, unable to breathe, talk, or swallow properly. Basically the nerve was nearly absorbed into the tumor and my vocal cord can't move, blocking a lung. I gained weight because I have trouble moving and breathing.
Thyroid problems, regardless what they are effect the person's weight becaude that's what the thyroid controls. I'm sorry you had cancer. It's lethal and will take more than a few pounds from those with it. I hope OPs daughter sees all of these comments and learns a valuable lesson from those whk suffer from cancer.
Maybe she'll get her wish

while I agree she needs some sort of a reaction to know that her current mindset needs correction/to be redirected, she also has shown a major request for help. If the child is already skinny and expressing the desire for a potentially fatal disease to lose weight (or even if she is overweight currently) the child needs to be given emotional support, and have access to proper mental care. Your daughter needs a therapist OP, and as someone who battled bulimia myself it is not something you can beat out of her (my parents tried and failed miserably) there is some connection in her mind that needs to be switched off and re-routed and that requires professional help. Good luck, and please dont be angry with your daughter for needing help, its not anyone's fault but rather a defect that just happened
you should not have reproduced!
Take her to a Dr get them to tell her she has cancer. See how much she wishes she has it then.
My first thought was how sad it is that a 14 year old feels the pressure to loose weight so she can be size 0 instead of 2 :/

You couldn't have possibly thought that until you read the follow up, so it couldn't have been your first thought.
I am a 20 Year Breast Cancer Survivor ... Cancer is NOT cute or FUN. I thank God everyday that I beat this terrible disease. It's not fun to loose all your hair and Vomit every day. I gained weight and am very happy that I am still alive. Yes I wish I had my old body back before I was sick - But I am happy with myself Now because I am still alive.
And her friend probably sighed and said, "I know, right?"
you should talk to her about that, she could be mentally ill and think she is fat. talk to her doctor.

I'm not big on smacking kids often, but I hope you smacked the stupid out of her.
If you get the chance OP have your daughter read this. My best friend just lost her step brother a few weeks ago to lymphoma which is very similar to leukemia. She was visiting me from our home state when she got the call. I was the one who held her as she cried. He was only in his early 20's. He went through several bouts of bone marrow transplants, which are extremely painful for both the doner and the receiver. His immune system started to reject everything, he looked like a burn victim. His skin was so dry and cracking to the point it would bleed. Then it would scar. He lost all of his teeth in the last few months of his life and was forced on to a liquid diet. He went from being on his way to a college basketball scholarship to bed ridden and confined to a wheel chair. He spent sometime in remission only to relapse about a year ago. He spent six years fighting and just couldn't fight anymore just last month. His whole body just shut down and he said he wasn't ready to die. These are the kind of complications that when you look up lymphoma that you won't find. It's not a funny joke nor is it a cool way to lose weight. He lost weight, because he couldn't eat or move or really anything else. Oh and there's a little issue of your hair falling out. I also just lost my Uncle to bone cancer 2 days ago. It's not cute nor funny to see my father upset over his brother being gone. He was there when he passed and said he never wanted to do anything like that again. A lot of people on here I'm sure will call me out as being "fake" however, I am happy to send the obits and FB pages your way. Is this all worth it for a size 0 jean?
