@amonkie - I managed to lose a reply about the whole accident thing. The gist was along the lines of "I'm okay with the accident thing, what I'm not ok with is that lack of desire she has to be her best".
I do feel really really bad for these feelings and how I must be affecting her. If it's going to work it's going to take effort. I don't know really where I went wrong before - when she was working hard in the gym I was encouraging her loads and rewarding her (on many different levels) when she was doing well. I think she gets bored very easily though, and she grows weary of positive stuff quite easily if it requires effort.
Besides, I'm not looking for her to be size 6... I just want her to care enough to actually do something about it and stick to it for long enough to see some serious results.
