Well first of all how old is she? Because even if you told little kids that they need to stop eating, they will just ignore you and keep doing that. But, if your cousin is a preteen or a teen you should just tell her. But, don't make it too direct because then she would get hurt.

Talk to her parents and express your concerns about her health and eating habits. They can guide you to make sure that you are giving her appropriate guidance when making choices about food. Sometimes people eat poorly because of the influence of others, so you want to make sure that you're helping her in an appropriate way, not making it worse. You can also help to encourage your cousin to live a more active lifestyle by taking her to the playground, etc. with her parents' permission.

Talk to her parents about it & see if she's taking any medicine. Her medicine might be the cause, but if she just likes to eat, then encourage her to eat more fruits & vegetables.

When you babysit her, take her somewhere that you all can be active, like swimming, the park, bike riding, etc.

instead of telling her to stop eating, give her healthier snacks like fruits. then take her on walks and play outside.
