My mother is extremely overweight, and she is getting older. I have tried to encourage her to do some hypnosis, and listen to some subliminal recordings, which would get her back on track (they helped me), but she refuses, stating that they're "stupid".
How can I encourage her to get back on track before it's too late?

My friend had a similiar problem with her grandmother. She got her to take little walks around the house saying she couldn't find anything and stuff like that . One day she "tricked" her into thinking my friend didn't know how to garden. Her grandmother was outside showing her what to do and slowly she had her walking around the yard showing her all the pretty things she can grow. It might help for you as well. Baby steps.

Just see to her daily food and exercise needs. Make sure she is eating lots of vegetables which aid in daily bowel movement and lots of fish which have a lot of brain-stimulating omega-3 acids. You can also engage her in walking and breathing in fresh air every day or you two can play her favourite sports regularly. A lot of love goes a long way. She needs to know that you are doing this because you love her and would like to see her living a heathy lifestyle.
Women her age should benefit from a daily vitamin supplement and two glasses of milk a day.

The best way to encourage her is to take good care of yourself. You are the best example & encourgaement she needs to take care of herself.
You cannot nag- it just doesn't work well, I know from personal experience with my father on another bad habit-smoking.
When you stop tring to force her to change, you might be able to have a serious discussion, lovingly, with her about your concerns. Good luck!

You should just let her know that you love here and are concerned and you want her to be around for a long time.

let her know that her being overweight could kill her and it's suicidal
