of course it's normal,, i dont think it matters what she looks like anyways,, but i think it's so totally normal to be like that because her body probably needs all the food and nutrients right now,, hope i helped :)

She's probably going through that awkward stage.
Mine stopped at 30. Technically, she would be considered obese, but will probably lose it in the next couple of years.
Does the rest of the family battle with weight?
Is she on any sport team or exercise regimen?
What have you seen her eat? Is it junk or is sh just eating too much of a good thing?
I was featured on the cover of the "Half Their Size" issue in 2003 and again in 2004. I did see a nutritionist, but if that's not a possibility, have her write down everything she eats for about two weeks.
When I did that, I fudged the truth a tad, but it doesn't matter, because I knew I'd eaten it.
Also, is your cousin on any medication. People who suffer with depression or bi-polar, should probably go to an endocrinologist. Not only does lots of these types or meds cause weight gain, but the thyroid becomes slow (it may be within the realm of "normal", but you want an endocrinologist who treats these things more aggressively than a primary would. Finally, she may be carrying around water weight. I had about 10 lbs. of edema, that just down' go away with a water pill; it may take years.
Good luck,

you know what, she's still going through her teen stages. it's hard to really tell. But maybe instead of calling her fat you can encourage her to go to the gym with you or something once a week. i think fat is such a harsh word.
