My mom has been severly overweight for the past 30 years. Now at 5'3 320 pounds she is having a ton of health problems and constantly in the hospital. My grandma died at 55 from cancer, my mom is 50 and I don't think she has much time left. I tried to get her to eat better and exercise for years, even tried to educate her on how to eat but seems it was all in vain. I have stopped talking to her about her weight. I don't see the point. feels like I have given up on her though.
