Help me deal with loved ones who won't band

[edieparks 2]

Well I want to give an update on my loved ones. A year and 2 month after my banding my cousin approached me about weight loss. I was thrilled. She is starting her upteenth diet plan. She had lost 50 lbs last summer /fall and has put it back on. From 286 /236 . I gave her advice that her insurance would pay for the band and the procedure with her insurance took a year, so look into it and back out if she wanted to what would it hurt? There is also a medically supervised diet program at out local hospital and she agreed for us to go and listen about the program together in two weeks. Not sign up just listen. I was happy she came to me with her questions and wanting support. I love her and I know at 286 she is headed for diabetes like I developed.

So I will support her with exercise and suggestions because she wants it now. She approached me. NO BROW BEATING just loving help.

I know I cannot run the world but I would like to.

I remember how angry i became whenever someone with good intentions mentioned to me that I should lose weight.

It wasn't until I decided for myself that Lap-Band was the way to go that I would listen.
