I have a cousin who is balloning up since last year. She is 9 yrs old this year and weighs 49 kg ad that is overweight. But i do not want to hurt her feelings so can anyone suggest in what way should i put it to her so that i can get her to have a healtier lifestyle?

I think you should talk to her parents and not her. They are responsible for her at this age and are likely to be the ones that are buying her all the food that means she is putting on weight.
I wouldn't talk to her about it, its a sensitive age when girls are getting more aware of their bodies and her confidence could really suffer if you say the wrong thing.

She is indeed big. You can tell her that if she doesn't stop eating like that no one will court or like her if she becomes teenager. You can also tell her as a joke. But do not overdo it. I have a niece who now has anorexia nervosa (as we thought) because she was always teased by her cousin..
