[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Basically, all the statistics about what happens to you if you become obese are NOT happening to her.  She works in the medical field in a hospital for the last 15 years, so she's around sick people and knows what can happen if you are in poor health and she is on her feet all day.

I honestly feel it is going to take my sister having a major health scare to change her attitude about her weight.  [/quote]

If she never develops any of the health problems associated with obesity, are you going to look back and wish you'd spent less time obsessing over someone else's business?[/quote]

I agree that being a busybody and obsessing over someone else's business (like weight) is wrong and will not accomplish anything.

That said, everyone who is obese will eventually develop related health problems. Maybe not Type 2 diabetes, but at the very least issues with joints, bones, ligaments, etc. The human body was not designed to carry that much excess weight on it, especially long term, and the the human frame will experience physical stress on it.

But yes, bothering someone about their weight will not do jack shit. It has to come from within. [/quote]
