My mother is very fat, probably nearly 300 lb, and she has been that way for more than 10 years. She has started and failed many, many diets. She recently started up the Weight Watchers Points system again, and I now have a good idea why she has always failed her diets... She buys more junk food when she's on a diet than otherwise! She came back from shopping with two containers of "diet" ice cream, "diet" pancakes, "diet" potato chips, etc. She insists that they're fine because they fit in with the 'point' system that she is bad at recording. Is there any way I can convince her to stop eating this shit? She probably won't listen to me unless I give her some pseudo-scientific bullshit. What should she be eating on a proper diet?

Fruits, vegetables, lean meat, whole grain, and lots of water. Nothing else.

Just don't do anything. She doesn't deserve to live. Fact is, most woman are complete fucking retards when it comes to any nutrition. If she doesn't listen to how she is supposed to eat, then really, come on.

For example, I was getting some soup, and I saw that one of the soups had 0 weight watchers points. So, what, they can eat like 50 cans and not expect to gain weight? Fucking stupid, honestly.

Sorry to break this to you, but she wont change the way she eats no matter what you say. The only way she will change is if she decides she wants to and sticks to it.
Also, SQUATZZZ

I have the same problem with my mom, accept she's over 300 and she doens't fucking try. It hurts me to see her get this way, especially since I'm a recovering fatass. But I can't let her get in my way. Nothing I can say can make her want to change. She has to want it, and right now she doesn't, So fuck it.

I think she's just fooled by pop weight loss trends and advertising. She clearly wants to lose weight since her health problems are directly related to obesity. I think maybe I should offer to do the grocery shopping next time and set a precedent based on>>177030.

Thanks.

I don't care about his mom. I know she won't read the book, or put forth a proper effort.

what about milk to go with whole grain cereal? and peanutbutter with whole wheat bread sandwiches? (no jelly)

Your whole wheat bread is just white bread colored brown. Also, sugar free jelly is quite good.

also, if you mean General Mills cereals, for the most part, GTFO! Try stuff like Kashi GoLean. No, not Crunch. At least not for now. Fiber One Original is the only good General Mill cereal for fatties.

Also, get a bread called Ezekiel 4:9. Bran For Life by the same brand, Food For Life, is better, but most regular chain groceries don't carry it. I've only seen it at Whole Food, actually.

Is your mother a rational human being? How about you give her some information on why diets don't work and how the body and weight loss works.

http://walking.about.com/cs/diet/a/dietsdontwork.htm

and there's a million other articles on shitty diets. Introduce her to them and then to some material explaining how weight loss and gains occur. A rational person will be able to understand what it is going to take to lose weight and then do it.

Just show her an old picture of herself. It would be really sad to watch your mom go like that.. from your point of view.

tell her that if she doesn't, she's going to die a slow, painful and embarrassing death for something that is 100% preventable

Just give up. My mom is like this too, always complaining about her weight. Whenever I say I need to lose another 10 lb to get 8% bodyfat, she's like 'omgwut but I have 45% bodyfat so who cares!' Just give up, there's no saving her. Not a rational human being, enjoys her food because her life lacks substance. She'll die early, but at least she lived in the spirit of her own irrationality.

Just give up. I'm willing to bet she reads those woman magazines that say stuff like "LOSE 10 POUNDS IN 10 DAYS" and stuff, right?

But my mother is a Polish immigrant? well played.

My mom is similar, but she's only slightly overweight, but the problem is she is just plain flabby, has cottage cheese skin everywhere, and has no willpower.

Like some others said, just give up. My mom starts Atkins diet for like 6 days then quits for a month, then tries again. I tell her to just eat balanced and stop using shitty fad diets, but she's stubborn and has no idea how to properly live healthy.

Nope! She simply says very enthusiastically "I'm going to start this diet!" Two days later, she's eating more terrible shit and given up. I'm not OP, btw.

Nah, I can empathize. My mom used to eat an entire bag of starburst jelly beans every night while sitting on the couch falling asleep to conan. Eventually she got deathly diabetic and was sent to the ICU, where we found out her bsl was like 900-something. Miraculously, she recovered, and started dropping pounds like nothing as she changed her diet. Of course, her diabetes did a complete health turn-around, so she got to eat whatever she wanted again and pretty much gained it all back, plus some. I try to help her out, but her mantra is "I need to get back in the hospital so I can figure out what I did to lose weight last time." I... really really hate her when she says that.

My mom is old fashioned and doesn't care about anything...fuck I hate that no matter how you describe them its the same old way of doing things.

You will have to convince her that dieting starts from your own kitchen buying gimmick food does nothing for long term goals.

Everyone that has posted in here has never reflected off any actions in their life. They just look at them and figure they'll worry about it later. Shit it actually sickens me to see people talk about their mom like that like she didn't birth you and work her ass of for you. Fucking spoiled pricks.
