Does she care that she's overweight? I know when I started getting a bit chubby and my nan started pointing it out to me and trying to get me dieting, I just ate more and more junk to spite her. Her harping on about it ruined what might have been a good relationship, and made me hate seeing her. Technically I'm obese now (I'm short and carry weight around my hips, I actually just look a bit heavyset) and while I know it's mostly my fault, some fault has to lay with the person who cared more about what I looked like than how happy I was.

Yes, she does care that she is overweight. She wants to be thin, but doesn't want to do what she has to (eat right & exercise) to get there.

Thanks for the comment about your Nan. I am trying to push that I don't care if she's overweight, but her Pa has diabetes and being overweight will make her even more susceptible to that and other health issues. I am trying to make it about health - but perhaps I do need to lay off a bit, once I talk to her Dad and see that he is going to try and increase her exercise and limit the amount of junk food in the house over there.

She did tell me yesterday that he was trying to lose weight too, so maybe this is good timing??
