We could go to this family with the latest weight loss plan and try to help them that way, but it would do very little help. As we said in one of the previous comments, it's all about the mind-set..that needs to change first and foremost! It's just very sad though. Hey Doug,

While the look to be overweight (or obese) as a "Yank" I had to look up the equivalency for a stone (about 14 pounds or 6.35 kilograms). Therefore, these family members weigh about 250, 340, 340, and 240 pounds, respectively. They are obviously well overweight but I have worked with people that look (and probably are) much heavier and it did not prevent them from making a living. While it is commendably that Emma is learning a trade, every hairdresser I have every know complains about being on their feet all day, which probably makes this a poor choice of a profession for someone with her "disability." An understanding that decisions have consequences and lessons in rational decision making are probably what this family could use the most. Life is full of challenges and the rewards only come from meeting and working through these challenges. <abbr><em>Doug’s last blog post..<a href="http://alignamend.blogspot.com/2008/11/open-letter-to-governor-schwarzenegger.html" rel="nofollow">Open letter to Governor Schwarzenegger</a></abbr></em> WOW!

Very disturbing to read the excuses they make about not working, and it annoys me that their bad attitude has now passed onto their daughters - so on goes this cycle. Hi ChristiaanH, I totally agree, it's all about the mind set. Without changing that you can forget about being successful in losing weight long-term. Hi Jenny,

Simple things like when using public transport get off one stop early and walk the rest. (Or run it...) use the stairs in stead of the elevator whenever possible. (4 stories? better hurry) Perhaps even walk all the way or go by bike. Almost every weight issue can be solved by a change of mind and a radical drop in calorie intake. Go to something like 1500 calories a day and stay there till your body has used it's reserves. This does take a lot of discipline though and should be done under supervision but still... It's all a mind game. <abbr><em>ChristiaanH’s last blog post..<a href="http://mindthebeginner.wordpress.com/2009/04/09/the-three-essentials-of-an-uphill-struggle/" rel="nofollow">The three essentials of an uphill struggle</a></abbr></em> In my view any student can exercise easily.

That is also the worst excuse for why they don't WANT to work. My husband is handicap and insists on working (even if he walks with a cain and a limb) AND microwave pies for dinner??? they cost more then a 3 course homemade meal would!! 1 never fills you up there to processed with things that make you obese and hungry. UGH! what has our world come to..... that family needs serious help. well, what they spend on food is about what me, my husband and our son spend on food in a week,so that’s the biggest underestimate ive ever seen.

I really wish people could realise the potential they have to change their lives if they could only change their mind-set. Hey Fitness-siren,

It's amazing what excuses people come up with to not lose weight. Excuses are "rationalizations" that they probably kept telling themselves all these years! Obesity is not a disease - it's not even contagious (in the proper sense of the word). On the other hand, I also see people everyday who go through some amazing transformations from fat to fit. This just goes to say that the mind is a powerful thing. We can tell it what we want to it to believe. Thanks for posting this. I hope that it will be eye opener to some people. <abbr><em>fitness-siren’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.pathtofatloss.com/2009/03/31/my-second-turbulence-training-transformation-results/" rel="nofollow">My Second Turbulence Training Transformation Results</a></abbr></em> Wow!
