Dear Laura:
I am a 45 year old male and about a month ago I decided to really get serious about working out and eating a healthy diet. I started out about forty pounds overweight and have lost fifteen pounds so far. So, I am feeling really great regarding my progress.
But I have a problem.
My wife and my teenage daughter, who are both at least fifty pounds overweight could care less about getting healthy. They eat all sorts of junk food, fast food, chips, candy and drink several soft drinks every day. Since I love them both and would like to see them both become healthier and more fit, I have tried to convince them to workout and eat better but without success. Do you have any suggestions for me? Oh and by the way, Type II diabetes runs in my wife's family.
