Hey PPs who were attacking OP -- don't you wish you only had OP to contend with now? You literally willed this pack of wild dogs over to the thread with your hysteria.



SIL is the wild D-O-G, not me.

Me = work
SIL = no job

Me = breadwinner
SIL = doesn't contribute

Me = cook homemade meals for my family 6 days a week
SIL = doesn't cook anything

Me = reasonable weight
SIL = morbidly obese - because she refuses to cook!!


And yet, I don’t even know you and yet I know for all of this, your SIL is the far better person.


OP here. This isn't me. Someone hijacked and is masquerading as me to give me more hate. So upsetting.

What is wrong with people on this board?


Clearly, they are sensitive about their weight.


This.


I posted in favor of SIL not getting involved and am really not sensitive about my weight. It seems like a patently bad idea for OP to discuss SILs weight with her when SIL has never brought it up to her and they don’t seem to be particularly close.

Her DH should say something and work with her to improve their eating habits. He could actually support her on a daily basis and encourage her to seek professionals who can help.




+1 I'm shocked OP would remotely consider it her place to her intervene. I'm sure the way she oozes nasty judgment would be super helpful and productive.


OP here. BIL asked us to intervene. We haven't BC it is awkward. Nasty judgment was another poster hijacking and pretending to be me.

No one is masquerading as you. They think anyone who is on your side must be you. This thread should be deleted.

His the heck is this your place?? What in the world is her DH thinking? This is one of the wackiest threads I’ve seen in a long while.

Not the PP. but Did you happen to read your first post? Because all that information is pretty much spelled out exactly like this in it.

OP speaks truth. It is I who said the SIL is horrible. And she is.

She has children but won't cook them a meal, just feeds them frozen pizza and junk food? She IS horrible. She doesn't even work. How can she not find the time to care for her children at least, let alone her husband with health issues? This isn't all about her. She isn't a Bachelorette.

This is a good idea. Make it about the DH trying to get healthy. Make the subscription something as easy as possible to eat so SIL will start eating it. DH should refuse to get her junk food on the way home.


OP here. I like this idea. But it only works if all are on board. Including her.


We can't control other people and it does sound like there may be sensory issues and other issues at play. This kind of limited diet is common with autism, for example. BIL should work on his own healthy eating and have a little extra if SIL wants to try it but let her come to it on her own.

Even if this is all true how is OP going to help the situation? Not sure why SIL’s DH though it made any sense to get OP involved. I’d stay out of it. It’s up to SIL’s DH to help her or connect her with professionals that can.

If only there was another parent around to help with meals… maybe like a father?

Or I guess an independent high schooler could probably work a stove themselves, but there is no reason the father can’t feed his kid if he’s that concerned.

Hate to break it to some of the smug people on here, but my kids also eat mostly processed food, lots of pizza, love nuggets, pasta, avoid veggies. And they’re teens and they’re rail thin. This is not as simple as saying that “junk” = obese. This isn’t a black and white issue, much less a moral one.

There are morbidly obese individuals who are obese because they’re lazy. There are obese individuals who are obese because they eat horribly and are lazy. How does anyone know this isn’t the OPs SIL?

OP the DH wants the change and so he is going to have to make that change happen for his own health. Honestly if he is happy with pasta and sauce from a jar and a side salad he can cook that in 15 mins.

If he is asking for health I would make some suggestions for healthier type meals that he could deal with at first. Say on the weekend he could make a huge salad so its ready to go for dinner. He could even use an hour on the weekend to make a couple of dishes as meal prep and then freeze them. They even sell vegetables cut up now, all you need to do is cook them. There are so many options. There are frozen healthier meals to start with if it's overwhelming. Just change 4 days a week and start from there. Even tell him to get a slow cooker and have recipes that everything is thrown in and left. There are simple ways to start. I'm sure you would have a ton of other simple ideas to start or easy recipes 20mins and less to start with. Cutting out soda and fruit juice etc. Buying fruit and nuts for snacks to have in the house etc.

You can't change others you can only change yourself. He is the one voicing a need to change, so give him some useful tips and recipes. I would do that rather than an intervention.
