Two Obese Teenage Girls! Advice Please!? Hi everyone! My sister has two daughters, a ten year old and a thirteen year old. They have come to stay with me for three months. (both of their parents are going on a service trip) my sister and husband are healthy and pretty skinny, both weighing in well under 200. Their two daughters, are not very healthy or skinny. The 10 year old weighs 250 pounds and the thirteen year old weights 325 pounds. I am 25 and am trying to take care of them. I very fat, being 390 pounds. I have tried to talk to the girls about getting healthy. I do eat healthy and excersize everyday. (i used to weigh 420 pounds) I only keep healthy food in the house and I make them go on a walk with me every day when I come home from school. I talk to them about their weight, telling them how much i struggle with it. THey jsut dont want to listen. They just tell me how they dont think they are fat at all, when they are only putting themselves at risk. I am trying to get them healthier and to look at it in a different way. I am trying to use myself as an example. I honestly do not have any desserts or junk food in teh house. I only have water and skim milk to drink and I cook them dinner every night using fresh veggies and whole grain anything. I make them go with me on a walk every day around my block a few times, normally about 45 minutes to an hour. They always looked up to me, and we have fun when we are not talking about the weight issue. So far, they haven't gained any weight since they got here. I am worried about their health. Any suggestions? Thanks!... Read More »
