Recently, she saw on the bathroom scale that she gained two kilograms during the past few months. Her mother did not look worried and just told Thembi that because she is in her early adolescence, it would be natural for her to gain some weight. Her mother reassured her that there was nothing to worry about, but that it may help to exercise a bit more.
