My daughter is 16 years old, and having a hard time dealing with

my weight loss. I have had a feeling for a while that it is bothering her. She is 5'5" and weighs 170. She wears size 14 (now the same as me), but I wouldn't consider her overweight, just needing some toning. My problem is that she is very sad that I will get thinner than her (it's only been 6 months since my surgery, so I am still losing), but then on the other hand she is very happy for me. I suspected that it was bothering her and then last night she finally came and talked to me. Has this happened to anyone else? What did you do? I did tell her that I think she's beautiful and explained that I will keep losing and that no-one thinks she is overweight.... I have also offered to excercise with her at night. I just feel for her, I know she's happy for me, but as a teen your world can feel so small sometimes. Thanks in advance for any help. You guys/gals are the greatest!
