[quote=Anonymous]OP I am not overweight and never have been but DH is and so is his entire family. We're pretty close and here's what I've observed:
- Eating is a compulsive disorder that they haven't figure out how to control
- They eat to deal with their own emotional issues
- They are concerned about 'wasting' food (see deep freezer in garage) and since they are in their 60's, still have the New Immigrant Attitude about food from the 40's (always buy on sale, stock up, etc.)
- They are lazy - not always recycling, takeout food often, buy a lot of prepackaged snacks/drinks, no exercise EVER
- They don't care that much because all their friends are overweight
- They don't keep up with new information about diet/exercise (my MIL over-consumes artificially sweetened drinks, yogurts, etc.)
- They don't read labels or know enough about the foods they eat
- The TV is always on

MIL and SIL will occasionally make an effort to slim down, but they yo-yo big time. Rarely does it involve exercise; usually it's just eating salad instead of a cheeseburger and fries.
