Dear Queenie,
My mother eats a lot of junk food and is very fat. I tried to talk to her about watching her diet and losing some weight but it didn’t make any difference.
Queenie, what more can I do?—Worried daughter
Dear Daughter,
You have talked to your mother about this and it did not help. Is your father in the picture on all this? If he is, maybe if he says something it will help, or maybe he already has spoken his piece and your mother ignored him. Beyond all that, until your mother decides for herself to eat better and lose some weight, there is nothing more you can do.
