Foreverdreamin Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 My family is overweight except me because i have been physical with sports and what not. My sister is 21 and is a gorgous looking girl minus her weight. My mother is very depressed about how she looks and my dad is having medical problems because of his weight. How can i get them to start losing weight and enjoying doing it? They do not feel comfortable about going to the gym but they are very unhappy with what they look like. Can someone help?
whichwayisup Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 They need to talk to their doctor and get a referral to a nutrionist. Learn how to eat properly, and possibly re-learn a new way of living. Its' not just about food, it's a lifestyle change. Be supportive, and start off slowly. Maybe as a family, start off once a week, to go for walks together. Do yoga together (You can get beginners tapes that are like 20 mins or so long) and hopefully that will help them feel better.
