hiya i am a parent but don't have the same problem as i am/was the daughter that a parent is concerned about.
but thought i would share some things that my mum does and things.
I was on the lipotrim diet before and lost just over 5 stone as was 10.11 by the end of it, but back to around 13.8 so I'm back on it.
She wouldn't ever go to fast food places, when we go out she would buy a sandwich instead of something else and she always has crisps with it but she doesn't buy it with that if she's with me.
Also my mum gives tough love, she will say cricky rox look at your legs or bally etc its not nice and it was hurtful but when she goes on and on it hurt and still didn't make me want to lose weight which i wish it had bothered me as i would be stick thin.
She paid the first time for the lipotrim for the first 3 months once i got in to it i then paid for it after seeing the results.
I think that if they don't want to lose weight then they won't until they are ready. No matter how much my mum went on at me etc it didn't change the way i felt and didn't stop me eating and did not make me feel motivated or like right i have to sort this out.
Its a hard one because as parent you don't care what they look like but its the health issues it comes with, my mum always told me this,
What about seeing about doing weight watchers together, its one night a week and say then we can go grab a coffee together etc that would make me want to do it more than just the moaning and digs.
