For context I am 13 y/o and 5'5 and about 148 lbs, My parents are 5'7 and 5'9 respectively and are both 200+ lbs. though my dad is on more of a weight loss kick than my mom and therefore weighs a bit less. DISCLAIMER though, Both are amazing people that I can not than enough for existing and their weight are not anything I have any whiff of a big problem for. I should also mention mom is 40 and dad is 59.
All throughout my childhood, health and exercise were never really priorities. we traveled and ate out quite a lot. my dad had a severe bike accident when I was 6/7/8 years old. he still tries to work out through lots of walking but struggles with healthy eating. My mom however doesn't appear to make much of an effort. I can't be sure but I am not sure.
My dad talks down about himself alot, especially about weight loss, always 'I've gotta do this, I've gotta stop doing that''
That was some expose into how my family sees health. walking (treadmill, outside walks, etc) are how my family gets our exercise. exercise is not the problem, its how we eat.
tl;dr; my family is overweight and eats like shit and exercises more not than often and I want to help.
