Eight-year-old “Lily” came to my office with her parents, who were frustrated. By all accounts, they were doing what most people would consider to be “everything right.” Lily rarely drank soda, she avoided fast food, and she enjoyed fruit and yogurt on a daily basis. Despite these efforts, her weight continued to rise.
Her parents asked me the question I hear often: “If we’re making healthy choices, why is she still struggling?”
