Dear Queenie,
My sister has a good education and a good job, but she eats too much and doesn’t exercise and is getting very fat and all the time talks about how bad she feels. The whole family is worried about her.
Queenie, how can we get her to take better care of herself?—Worried siblings
Dear Siblings,
A family confrontation might just make your sister feel defensive. However, perhaps one or two of you can convince her to visit her doctor, who surely will advise her to lose weight and show her ways to do so. She may also need to be treated for depression.
