Hey, everyone! I am always impressed with all of the hard work everyone here puts in, and the creative ways by which you reach your goals. The positivity inspired me to choose this sub for this inquiry; I worry about getting attacked by FA people if I were to post to this r/relationships or some other more general sub. So... my mother is in her late 60s. She’s been obese most of her life, and is now experiencing the consequences: type II diabetes, three stents in her heart, incapacitating inflammation in her ankles and knees, getting winded after walking more than ten feet, etc. In my view, this has impacted her ability to work and as a result she is coming to live with me (my other siblings have kids, so it was easier for her to live with my husband and I). I am a longtime vegan and have always been an avid exerciser. I generally don’t do carbs save for special occasions (enjoying some craft beer today!). My husband is generally plant-based at home, but he’ll eat a shit ton of pasta. He has that gene. Lucky him. Maybe I’m posting in large part to vent. I don’t know. But I feel like if she lost weight by sharing my lifestyle, she would be more mobile, clear-headed, etc. and I feel like the pounds would melt off. I know she’ll never be south of, like, 180. (She and I are both roughly 5’3; I’m a muscular 127 and she’s easy over 200... we have different body types. She’s an endomorph and I’m a mesomorph.) She’s sensitive about her weight to boot. I guess what I’m asking is how to help an older person lose a ton of weight an increase their mobility without being preachy. Any advice would help.
