My fat sister?

Question

Ok my sister IS HUGELY overweight and shes 6 she weighs almost as much as me and iam triple her age WHOA shes got a pot belly and ive tried exercicing her but she can't put any effort in doin any crunches she going on to 100 lbs

WHAT SHOLD I DO TO MAKE HER GET RID OF THE FAT ON MY SIS

Ps she eats DOUBLE what i do and she WONT STOP and she overloads EVERYTHING

Answer 1

At 6 I think it would be up to mom & dad to control her eating. It makes it a lot easier to do that if the junk food isn't being brought into the house. What does her pediatrician say? I'm sure that the doc would give advice on this issue. She definitely needs help to achieve this though. It will be much better for her health and overall physical well-being if she loses some weight. It's not good for her little heart, or even her knees and hips for that matter. I hope your family can help her. Definitely have mom speak with a pediatrician and possibly get sis into a nutritionalist. Maybe there's also a kids exercise class at your local Community Center that she can attend.
Good luck!

Answer 2

You are both quite tall -- and both going through hormonal changes (being mid teens) and maybe your diet is not as 'healthy' as it could be? (only you know this) -- BUT at your ages you shouldn't get to worked up about 'being fat' as things often work out by the time hormones and growth-spurts sort themselves out when you are in your late teens /twenty-something... That said there is always room to look at what you do eat -- and also get more healthy exercise -- if you do not have pre-existing health conditions that stop you from doing so... If your 'family' tends to put on weight easily -- or harbor weight -- a look at your Mum/Grandma (if you have them) is usually a good clue! then it would be a good idea to develop healthier eating and activity patterns at as early an age as possible, to defuse the genetic predisposition to obesity, and maintain a healthy weight to height ratio. For the vast majority of people overweight is an issue that can be solved with nutritional and exercise -- PLUS some self-discipline!

Answer 3

Well, that's a whole lifestyle thing, and you need to involve the entire family especially the parents. She's going to have real problems physically and emotionally if you don't get this under control. The problem is primarily habit, overeating and no exercise. One thing to do, show her that if she would eat a normal portion of food, not the triple amounts like most restuarants serve, but just eat a normal amount and then WAIT 20 minutes, she would see that she really isn't hungry. What we have trained ourselves to do is gorge and eat a huge amount of food before our brain even knows we're full. And she could simply walk off the weight, it's not like she has to turn into an athlete. But she has to be willing and that's step No. 1.

Answer 4

Try being creative with the exercises. Maybe just do fun things together, this will not take much effort if it is fun, and exciting.
Go for a walk to a friends house, or swimming at the pool.
Prepare foods in a fun way. They have alot of healthy, and fun foods on Martha Stewart's websites. Go kite flying, and she could run with the kite in her hands, through the open fields.
It is hard for kids to get motivated, but if you get her use to it, in time she will want to do more for her self. Just don't be so hard on her, show her you love her, and this is why you want her to lose weight. If you act rough, and tough, she may not want to do it. Little kids. no matter the size, need affection and love.

Answer 5

If her guardians are unwilling or unable to control her overeating, then you need to speak to a professional! Allowing a child to eat so much that they are 100 lbs at age 6 is going on child abuse!
These eating & activity habits will stay with her for life, and a short life it will be, if things are not curbed now.

she needs your help big sis, do something before it's too late.

Answer 6

I have a big sis myself. Shes in 3rd grade and I'm in high school and she could fit my clothes and eats chips all the time even if there stale. Why don't you let her eat HEALTHY foods only. Very healthy foods are best if she cant shortened her diet like veggies and especially fruits. Take her on bike rides or play basketball with her. If she likes going to the library walk or ride a bike there instead.

Answer 7

Tough question. But what is a tougher question, is where are your parents, and why are they letting her overeat? Obesity in a child can be a medical problem, and in that case they need to take her to a weight doctor. I admire you for caring about your sister and trying to help her. Dont stop, but talk to your parents about providing her with the correct foods, and eating schedule. Your sister will thank you later.

Answer 8

Try getting her to play sports or other active things with you for like an hour a day.
