How do I tell my mom she is getting fatter and fatter?!
Answers: My mom has no control of herself around food. She is starting to balloon up. She has been like a pear ever since getting together with my stepdad, who is a grilling man, she lost some weight at curves, but now she is really starting to gross me out. She eats EVERTHING! More bacon, more brautworst, more sausage, more croutons, more more more please. It is really staring to gross me out. I am gonna explode an her. She will sit and eat a whole thing of Pudding. I bought 2 bags of twizzler the other day and when I came home from work they were gone!!!!!!! What the hell is wrong with her? All her friends ahve died form heart attacks, doesnt she care, what is she thinking...I dont want her to die too, just because of her need for sausages! HELP ME...HELP HER!
You are such a caring daughter! I know that this is a very delicate situation. You do not want to hurt your moms feelings but you love her and you want her to be healthy. You should explain to her that you love her and that you think she is a wonderful and special person but her eating habits are not healthy and that you are worried about her. First of all, it sounds to me that your mother is doing some emotional eating. Is there anything that has been bothering her? or is it just a habit? Either way she needs your support through this. Do not encourage unhealthy eating by bringing home candy and fattening foods. You could eat healthy with her! It would make you closer, healthier, and give you both more energy. Even if you do not have a weight problem, you will feel so much better!
Being healthy does not need mean eating tuna out of the can, plain rice cakes, and running on the treadmill hours a day. It can be fun and tasty! You can even still enjoy grilling! I love grilling turkey burger. They are lower in fat and you will not even taste the difference! And you can top it with veggies, low fat cheese, and stuff it in a whole wheat hamburger bun. Along with some fresh fruit, yum! I enjoy veggie hot dogs. I know, I know they sound gross, but they are soooo good! They are low in fat/carbs and full of nutrients. You can put them in a whole wheat hot dog bun with some mustard and some baked lays on the side. There are so many choice, you can even have snacks and desert. Frozen yogurt, granola bars, fruit, nuts, veggies with ranch, cereal, sugar free fudge pops, low fat ice cream, banana with peanut butter, etc. You just have to remember to be creative in the kitchen, have an open mind, and MODERATION IS KEY. Have one burger... not 4!
As for exercise, go for a fun walk on the beach, walk your dog, take a relaxing bike ride, play tag or Frisbee, go swimming, play vole ball. Just get moving!
Its not about looking like a model, it is about being healthy. Healthy is beautiful and once she starts your mom will never want to stop. it just takes time and disciple at first, and then she will not feel like she is depriving herself. Even losing 10 pounds is great! This does not mean, do not EVER eat fattning again. If she is good ALL week then she can treat her self to one super fattning meal on sunday and a desert too!
Achieving Health is a Marathon, Not a sprint. She can make mistakes. Just do not get discouraged and get back on the trail!
I hope this helped, good luck!
well.............. Try to give hide foods away from her or tell her how YOU feel. OR bring her to a doctor
you need to start hiding food from her or don't let her bring it in the house.. And just go up to her and tell her mom u r getting fatt!!!! she'll get over it in a few days...
i hoped i helped
Um remind her how healthy and slim she looked when she joined Curves suggest to her that curves is a great Idea for you and her. and then don't buy twizzlers and stuff just cut down on junk food period and say that when having 2 squares of a dark chocolate is really good for you and it helps control your cravings for other things.
Maybe,you should just tell her what you told us,not to mention it's not good for her health.
Sounds like she's headed for heart disease if she doesn't cut down on all of that fatty,salted meat.
She needs a lifestyle change,more veggies,and exercise.
Also,just in case,tell her to take a pregnancy test,could be she's eating for two..?
Get a large scale for her and buy her a membership at your local health club, preferably with a motivational trainer.
You don't need to tell her - she knows. That may be part of the problem. She may just have given up trying to maintain. You need to give her support and try to get her to go for a walk with you. Do you have a dog? Start dog walking with her. Start talking about how YOU want to eat healthy and be healthy and how you need her support. It may take professional help too. She may be eating because something is really making her depressed. Maybe your stepdad can help too. Good Luck!
well u should just come right out and tell her. but not in a mean way. or u could make her go to some kind of therapist. put her on weight watchers.
Tough situation....if your father has any sort of athletic ambitions try doing things with him and include your siblings, if you have any. Basically if the rest of the family seems into athletics she'll likely feel left out and begin working on it more.
Another trick is to put lots of fiber supplements in any foods she eats to make her feel full and give her plenty of low-calorie drinks whenever you can to fill her up.
Ultimately telling her she's getting fat won't make it better and convincing her how much fun it is to be in shape will.
Rent SuperSize Me, Fast Food Nation and Waiting, she will be so grossed out by fast food and too grossed out to even over eat she will have to change her eating habits.
okay i know you are pissed about your twizzlers but you can not force your mom by getting upset at her you need to encourage her. Ask her to go on a walk with you or make plans to go to six flags, amusement parks or really anything that gets her up and out of the house. I use to be a big girl and now i weigh 125 lbs. I lost my weight because i wanted to. Just tell her your concerns and be a patient daughter. she will do something about this when she is ready YOU CANNOT FORCE HER!!!!! goodluck!
you should definitely not insult her. that will just make her feel worse. make it about you. tell her you wanna get healthy and you need her support too. "hey mom, i wanna be healthier and it will be easier for me if we do it as a family." help out with the grocery list. keep any sweets out of the house or hidden away in your room. i know its unfair for you, but it will be so much easier for her if she's not alone in changing her habits. if its just you two, then you'll have to stay on top of her. if you have other siblings or another parent etc, get them in on it too.
maybe suggest weight watchers...it's a great program.
you just have to understand that its not easy to totally change your eating habits.. you have to be patient and supportive. positivity is key.
whatever you do, good luck.
You should nicely go up to her one day at the right moment and tell her mom i think ever since you have gotten together with.... you have gained a few pounds. Tell her that she should just lower her intake and invite her to come to the gym with you for a while until the extra pounds are shedded off.
You think she doesn't know??? She knows how she looks and what she eats. She doesn't need YOU to point it out to her. What she does need is a kind and loving daughter who will help her, not criticize and condemn her for her problem. She has a serious problem and it is okay to tell her you are worried and are there for her and will support her. Be nice, not nasty!
