So I’ve bern losing weight with CICO since September, and despite having a number of factors working against me (PCOS, CSU, chronic depression, and agoraphobia) I’ve lost 25lbs. Seeing my success my mother decided to start her own weight loss. She has about 20lbs to lose whereas I have about 100 more to lose, but I told her I’d be happy to help her out with encouragement and any tips I’ve learned.
We live 4500 km apart so I don’t actually see her often but we speak on the phone. She called today and told me it’s been going really well the first week, she’s already lost 3lbs. She said she’s been eating a 6’ tuna sub each day. That’s it. Nothing else. I explained to her that a tuna subway is less than 500 cals and she should be eating 1200 per day. She just kept saying “but I feel fine” and got really angry when I said it’s really unhealthy (how can it be unhealthy when it has so many vegetables and good protein?!). I know ultimately I can’t stop her from making poor choices but I’m legitimately worried about her so I’m wondering if anyone has some tips on how to show her what a healthy diet looks like without coming across accusatory or like I’m “fear-mongering”?
Thanks!
