My family got so fat that it completely changed them My family has always been fat but they never were too big to where it affected how they acted drastically.  Visiting for Christmas I always try to get them in a healthy mindset because I went from 6'5 295  to 190 a couple years ago and like to shed my knowledge on them.   This is the first visit where I have realized that I've been talking to a wall and they are completely different.  They are convinced that they are healthy fats and it affects them in no way.  This is what their lives have amounted to. .... My dad sits in the couch all day watching maury eating food and getting drunk.  He says he can't go outside because it's so hot that he can barely breathe and he sweats too much.   He always starts diets for a total of 2 days which comes from a week of over binging food and alcohol since he's "about to start a diet". My mom doesn't exercise because work makes her tired and is a secret eater. Around me she will eat small amounts but as soon as I leave the room or go to sleep she eats peanutbutter like it's yogurt and only drinks snapple because her sugars are "low".  The milk mouthpiece is covered in peanutbutter and she leaves spoons in the peanutbutter.  Other than work all she does is nap. My youngest sister is slowly becoming obese and refuses to try anything that has vegetables in it because she thinks it's disgusting. Even trying to feed her healthy fish she refuses and will cry until she no longer has to eat it.   She's 12.  Whenever I try to take her for walks she makes excuses like "I vacuumed earlier" and sits on the computer for another 6 hours.  So now its just me and my other skinny sister going for runs, eating healthy and talking about this mess and we feel like there is nothing we can do.  Obesity has fucked my family and turned them into the people I despise.  I still love them for their unconditional love and kindness  but obesity has changed them for the worst and I'm afraid it will only get worse...... Has anyone successfully fixed their hamily?  And if so.... how?
