does being over weight affect one`s self confidence worth? if so how can over weight person overcome?

Question

i have a sister who is over weight & her self confidence badly dameged. how can i help her?

Answer 1

Unfortunately this society has focused on having model type looking bodies.(not trying to criticize the models) Your sister´s self worth depends on her not other people. I´m not saying she should continue this unhealthy habit because it is. Just have her love who she is first and the being healthy will follow naturally. You can be the support she needs to get through finding herself and loving who she is for who she is and let her know it does not depend on other people´s comments for her to feel the way she does about herself. It will take her a lot of discipline and a lot of support from her family. It is best if her family helps her find different alternatives for helping her lose weight instead of always dropping nasty comments like ¨she never lose the weight if she keeps eating like that¨ Help her by saying ¨Hey how about we go try some new food at such and such place like Super Salad¨, where she can choose her food knowing everything she chooses will be healthy.
Try it and tell her you love her for who she is this will boost her self confidence.

Answer 2

Yep...sadly overweight people are often viewed as stupid and lazy by society...rather than try to fix the problems resulting from the weight, get her to lose it. have her visit her family doctor and go from there............
