Hay mabe I can get your opion. My mom is 368 lbs.She has tried every diet known to man but has a problem with it. She never stays on for more then 3 weeks before she starts eating the things she wants to eat [which are not on her diet]. She also says she exercises, PLEASE, her deffination of exercise is getting up and doing the lundary once a week. When we ask her if she would like to go on a walk she says "but I've already excerised, I did the dishes and fed the dog". The worst part is that when she goes to the doctor she flat up lies and says "I have been dieting" or "I exercise everyday". My family and I have tried to support her but she just pushes us away and says that she can do it on her own, then if we keep asking she blows up. She has lately been talking about sugary but the says "no". you see we really don't have that much money to spend and my mom just reciently got health insurance [it really sucks thought]. I'm going away to collage soon and I really don't want to leave her like this.

I would blow up too!! I know you mean well but I think you need to leave her alone. Don't take this the wrong way but she has to do this herself. It don't matter how much you try to help if it don't click in her head it is not going to work. Only your Mom can change her life and if you keep pushing she is going to push you away even more. Just love every pound of her! I have lied about food and excerise. My family asking if I walked today and what I have ate made me more determined NOT to do it. I hope I didn't offend you and if you need to talk more I am here.
