Sodas, pepperonis, and cheese are her main diet!?!


Question: Sodas, pepperonis, and cheese are her main diet!!?
My mother drinks Coca Cola, Pepsi, Rootbeer and similar soft drinks ALL DAY, EVERY DAY!. No matter what I say she won't stop!. She gets very rude and says she can do what she wants!.!.!. true!.!.!. but when she looks 5 years her senior and has a belly as big as mine (I'm 35 weeks pregnant) there is a problem!.!.!.

She is fat, lazy, and ALWAYS tired and stressed!. She comes home, lays down, and watches TV every single day!. Her diet consists of drinking soda, eating pepperoni (uncooked), and sliced cheese!.!.!. oh and bologna rolled up! Sometimes, in the morning, she will toast a few slices of bread, but I rarely see her eat anything else!. My grandmother cooks (she lives down the street) and sometimes my mother will eat what she has for dinner, but it's not every night!.

I'm concerned!. Her blood pressure is really high, she's always too stressed to do anything and she is CONSTANTLY yelling at me! She's in a horrible mood! How can I get her to change her ways!?!!?!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
wow, she's lucky she still has all her teeth if she drinks coke and rootbeer that often!.!.!.maybe you could try doing her favors like buy her fruit when you go to the grocery store!.!.!.fruit, yogurt, juices!.!.!.also they ahve this carbonated jucie that tastes like soda but it's really juice, it's called "juice squeeze" and it comes in a 4-pack at most grocery stores, and she might actually like it!. or hansen's all-natural soda is a good alternative to coke and rootbeer!.
Her blood pressure is probably high from her stress but also from the caffeine in coke and the grease and fat in all those red meats!. She does need to have more variety in her diet, you're right!. The key is not getting her to get rid of these guilty pleasures, but helping her to have more variety in her diet such as fruits and vegetables!. Also not trying to make you more worried but all those daily consumption of red meats can increase her chances of colon cancer!.
I know you're 9 mons pregnant and it's probably becoming harder for you to go places (it is for me and I'm 35 weeks) but you really should maybe go to the store for yourself and her and stock up on healthy foods!. She can't get mad at you for that since it was spent with your money!. Buy fruits, all-natural sodas like hansen's, juice squeeze, and also some yogurts and other healthy snacks like granola!. This will encourage her to eat healthier or at least have more variety!.
As for the grandbaby thing, I doubt she'll take it ou on her, she'll probably fall in love with her!. She might even be a little less stressed when that baby comes and takes her mind off things!. However, is you having a baby part of ehr stress!? Is she worried you're going to put it all on her or expect her to help you financially!? If so, make it clear to her that is not what you plan to do, at least not in the long run!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Cry!.!.!.
Make her realize how much shes hurting you by not taking care of herself!. I know this sounds mean but I dont mean it to!.!.!.right her a fake obituary!.!.!.tuff love!. Really you cant make anyone change!. The people that are making changes are ones who have somethign to fight for!. Maybe when you have your baby being able to hold, carry and play with her grandchild wll be enough to get her off her butt a drop some weight!.

Well, your mom will only change if it's what she wants!. If you are really concerned though I suggest sitting her down and letting her know how much it concerns you!. Mention the health risks and how you want her to be around for a long time and ask her if she would consider changing her diet for her health!. Switching to diet sodas can help a person lose 10 pounds in just a few weeks!. She could also switch to turkey pepperoni!. These are just a few suggestions, but I think if you let her know it's her health (and not her physical appearance) that worries you, she will be more receptive to change!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
