Account Deleted By User Okay here's the deal.  My sister has always been a screw up.  She had two daughters by the same guy (thankfully) but never married him.  She has struggled with money and overall stability the entire time she has raised these kids.  Her oldest daughter is now 18.  She just graduated high school and is heading off to college.  She's also EXTREMELY obese.  She's 5'9" and I'm guessing 300 lbs.  My family is a bunch of enablers.  We all know she's in for a life of pain and sadness but no one has the nerve to confront her directly about it.   I care about my niece and honestly want to help her.  I think going away to college and getting away from her nuclear family will be a good start.  I'm looking for some advice on how to talk to her about dropping this weight before it ruins her.
