[quote=Anonymous]It really sounds like she has mental and physical health issues that are multiplying and feeding off each other as a result of being very overweight. When you are very overweight into your mid 30s and older, you don’t have as much energy as a normal weight or slightly overweight person. Then you start to get depressed because you can’t do as much as your peers. Then your hygiene goes by the wayside because you’re depressed and/or because you don’t have the physical energy to shower, brush teeth etc. Then your depression worsens because you know your hygiene is bad. And so on and so forth. Again this isn’t about carrying an extra 10 lbs from kids or being post-menopausal or whatever. Being a few lbs overweight is vastly different than being seriously obese.

Unfortunately she has to be the one to fix this problem for herself and it will take a combination of weight loss meds/injections and lifestyle changes. You’re right to be concerned, but ultimately, you can’t force someone to take responsibility for their own health. But I really do think if she gets the weight under control, the hygiene, sleeping too much, etc. will also improve. [/quote]
