Do not listen to catwoman's advice.
She doesn't know anything about kids, or about being significantly overweight.
If you let the kid eat anything she wants, her future may include a day on which she'll be lifted by a crane out of a hole cut in the side of the house by the fire company.
There is a bit of a grain of usefulness in what cat said, though ... make sure that the young lady is as involved as possible in making her decisions and choices about how to proceed.
Treatment with a psychologist or other therapist along with a good weight loss program will be of great use here ... using food as comfort object is not unusual, but there's a very careful balance that has to be maintained for successful and healthy weight loss.
