Is she in denial? Is she depressed? My advice would be to sit her down face-to-face and hash out the reasons she does not want to change. You should also have some idea of what these reasons might be and be able to have a response to these reasons. I would also suggest to involve her boyfriend in this process as much as you can. When you are able to develop some sort of plan, the next thing to do is set a date for when you will implement these changes. This is actually very crucial for the both of you to have some time to get into your new mindset. While you are helping her develop better eating habits, there are two things to keep in mind. One is that you need to consistently remind her that you (and hopefully the boyfriend) are there to support her. Second is that she is going to stumble in this process and have moments of weakness (potentially many). When this happens, it is important to figure out what the circumstances were that caused her to have that moment so that you and she can better cope with those circumstances when they come up again. You must also encourage her during those times and not be punishing or judgemental. It is OK for her to have these moments so that she can learn more about what is keeping her from maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and you must say this to her when they happen. As long as she is willing, the change will eventually come around. A lot of these techniques were developed for smoking cessation, but for many people bad food can often be just as addicting and just as dangerous. Doing a search for smoking cessation techniques can provide you with more information and further details about how to help your mother make this change.<br><b>References : </b><br> The heart of the matter is that you need to find out WHY she refuses to make the necessary changes.

Make/buy one of those non-sugar dinners, and you and her can eat it together. Give that stuff to her most of the time. And maybe you shoudl sit down with her and take five minutes, or however long you need, and tell her to stop eating loads of sugars, and start eating less sugar. Tell her how important it is to stay on a diet, and that if she doesn't, it can kill her, or she can have other things wrong with her. when she grows more older, she can have different things wrong with her. Just tell her you don't wanna see her in pain, or eating things she isn't supposed to eat. I know how hard it is to get off of something that's in everything! I can't have wheat, and that's in everything, so I have to have things specially made. So, I can relate to her.<br><b>References : </b><br> Well, maybe you can tell her you can make dinner for her.

I'm assuming you've tried talking to her? Mr Peachy is correct in saying that maybe someone should talk to her about the consequences of her decisions about food. Get some information together and sit down and talk to her at an appropriate time. But what some people forget is how hard it is to make those kinds of changes in your life. And most people can't do it overnight. Maybe you can start offering her healthier things along with the bad stuff. Maybe see if she'll get half of what she normally eats from Taco Bell and eat something healthy along with it. If you can work a healthy diet in more slowly, she's much more likely to want to stick to it. Also see if you can get her out to exercise a little. Even if you can't change her eating habits, the exercise will still help some. Try to include her boyfriend in on some of this. He may be able to influence her more, and chances are he doesn't realize how much the food he's bringing are hurting her.<br><b>References : </b><br> You can’t make her change, but there are things you can do to encourage her.

And I'll tell her that what she's doing is exactly what took my mom's life in the worst possible way. A slow, miserable decline over many years, complete with heart attacks, stroke, coronary bypass surgery, depression, and finally dementia and early death. You don't just go suddenly and painlessly. Watching her slowly wither away has been my motivation to take care of my diabetes and help others as well. Taking care of it really doesn't have to be difficult, either. Just takes a little common sense, some reading, and a desire to be around a long time for your kids. As far as that ranter above goes... don't pay attention to her. She has no clue that healthy diet can be wonderfully delicious and nourishing at the same time. That's exactly why she's on insulin and I'm on no medication at all. I suspect that her sugar level must have been very high when she posted that rant.<br><b>References : </b><br> Sure… let me talk to her.

It sounds like some form of self destruction. The problem is that like an alcoholic, or anyone else doing self destructive acts they need to decide to stop on their own. It will reach a point where they will just grow to resent you for trying to make them stop.

She can make her own choices and not you. Does she live with you or you live with her??? Yeah, I made my mother healthy choices meals too and she rebelled and now I know why!!! What I was fixing wasn't what she should have been eating!! and on top of which when I left out the salt, it tasted really blah!!! NOW when someone wants to mind my diet plans for me, I am likely to eat the whole chocolate cake!!! We all have bad heart and glucose problems and every danged thing else. If I don't want to eat the slimey green junk with no salt, butter or other seasonings in it, DO NOT INSIST!! If you are fixing the standard crap the ADA recommends, I don't blame your mother for wanting the junk food from Taco Bell! At least it tastes like food, and is not a bit less healthy for her. Are You taking her glucose levels??? Do you even know what her glucose level is when she wants a coke??? Are you living in her skin??? Then get off your danged bandwagon and eat the same garbage you are trying to feed her all the time!!!<br><b>References : </b><br> Your MOTHER is a grown woman!!!
