[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've ran into this with my sister and there's nothing you can do. If she were anorexic instead of obese, you'd have an intervention and put them in a treatment center. Obese just gets treated more as a lifestyle thing and we that we should accept it. I believe they're just two sides to the same coin and both are just as unhealthy (although anorexia is immediately more life threatening).[/quote]

I've never considered this perspective, and I agree. Both will kill you, why not approach obesity with the same level of concern?[/quote]

You don't have a weight problem, I'm guessing.

My husband is obese. He gained about 100 pounds in a year. He has a terrible thyroid problem, among other issues.

He knows that it's not good to be that heavy. This is not something that folks are unaware of. He is on meds, he has tried watching what he eats. He would really, really appreciate if strangers and others would stop giving him advice on how he'd be so much "healthier" if only he did xyz or abc.

I'm sure your daughter is aware that she has gained weight. I can almost guarantee that she wishes she were lighter. I can also almost guarantee she has tried to lose weight and will probably try again.

Without a doubt, she does not need you to tell her you think her marriage is in trouble. Or to watch what she is eating. Or to do anything else you are contemplating, in order to "help."[/quote]
