My mum needs to loose weight (her BMI must be well over 40 as mine was near 40 when i started and I wasn't as big) she wants to too and i think CD is what she needs to be able to re-educate herself about whats a healthy and 'normal' diet.
I've told her about it and asked her but she says she's scared about what will happen after the diet- think this is because she knows someone who put it all back on again. She said shes just cutting down but since being on this diet I've noticed peoples eating habits and she was picking after having a big family meal the other week-thats something I know I have to change about my own habits once through maintenence. She's also tried every diet under the sun and Im sure if she were honest has been unhappy with her weight the whole of her married life (25years) as I always remember her dieting.
I know this diet or any VLCD is not for everyone but I really think she could do it! and she's tried everything else. Maybe she needs to see that I can maintain first for her view to change?
Also in Sept she'll start to look after my little boy when I go back to work and she'll need all the energy she can get!!
Maybe I could suggest she tries it to loose X ammount of weight? maybe she'll be hooked and convinced then?
what to do?
