I am SO worried about my mom's health. Anything I can do?

Question

She is at least 40 lbs overweight & her clothes don't fit & I am worried about her gaining more weight. She will also go ALL day w/o eating until dinner & lecture ME. FYI I am 24 so I am NOT a little kid who doesn't know what she's talking about. She doesn't even try to eat healthy like she loads her fries with salt when they are salted already. She puts butter on her crackers which is pure fat. She doesn't use low calorie dressings , mayo or anything to help the siituation. She doesn't exercise either. Finally she smokes like a chimney as she has for over 40 years & she has no intention of quitting. I love my mom to death (pardon the pun) but I don't want her to die. She is the ONLY family I have left!

Answer 1

Why don't you suggest that she try the magnetic diet. They recommend a combination of diet, exercise and meditation. Read more about their program at: http://www.magnetic-diet.com

Answer 2

There really isn't anything you can do or tell her to make her change her eating habits.
You can pray that she would do it herself, but she won't cause she does see it as a problem.
You can cook her meals for her and hope she will eat them.
Sit down and tell her exactly how you feel, tell her how you are afraid she will die because of the way she eats and smokes. She is walking herself into a heart attack and lung cancer.
Good luck!

Answer 3

It's quite difficult in situations like this to help somebody second hand as your mom probably isn't interested in revamping her diet ................. however, Rome wasn't built in a day so start slowly ........... perhaps to start with you could get her to read a book called "The Water Cure" by Dr. Batmanhelidj. Absolutely mind boggling information there in itself. Water or, rather lack of it, is the root cause of the bulk of our modern day "old age" ailments. By increasing her fluid intake as a first measure within days she will reap enormous benefits as she will have extra energy, less digestive and skin problems and feel better emotionally and physically almost immediately!!

GOOD LUCK
