So I'm back home for a 4 month stay after university due to covid and my little sister has gotten really overweight over the years. She's below 5' and is around 70kg! I really want to help her as she's so incredibly sweet and adorable and I can see her self confidence really plummet nowadays, and all my mom seems to do is vocalize her frustration at my sister by calling her fat all the time.
I'm kinda lost in what to do since this is a scenario of a preteeen girl who's about to attend school in the fall too, and I'm male and have no clue on how to help her achieve this In a healthy fashion. Considering she's so young and growing up as a female. Not to mention how slow of a progress it will be and hence how it'll be kinda demotivating for her since her healthy weight is so far away.
We live in a south Asian household and I can't meal prep for her with western foods as she'll have to eat the home cooked meals, but right now I'm planning on losing some weight along side with her to help her with motivation, although I'm in a healthy weight range, I do have a unsightly look underneath my shirt that I'm not happy with. I'm thinking of CICO with two small portions of home cooked meals a day with fruits for snacks. Very loose calorie counting and mostly judging by weighing scale movements.
My biggest concern is, does an 11 year old even have the willpower to do this? And how can I help her in to this regard? Also will appreciate dieting help for her. Thanks!
