My daughter came home from a friend's house the other day and proceeded to tell me the Wii Fit told her she is overweight.

After I pulled my heart out of my throat and put it back in my chest, I asked for all of the details.

She said she put in her height (54 in.) and weight (81 lbs), and a chart came up that put her in the "overweight" category.

Her "friend" looked at her with an "ewww" expression, and then just had to say, "I am always NORMAL."

Ok.

First of all, my child has NEVER been told by her DOCTOR that she is overweight. She will be 10 years old in August, and she wears a 10/12.

Next, do we or do we not have enough young girls with eating disorders in this country? I understand the whole "Amercia is obese" dilemma going on, but this is too much. 

Luckily my child brushed this off. She does have good self-esteem and isn't taking this seriously. But there will be girls out there who will be crushed if they go through this. 

Nintendo needs to consider putting age-appropriate comments in the Wii Fit game. Maybe children under 18 do not get called "overweight".

Especially if they are not.
