    This might not be what you are wanting to hear, but only your Mom can change. If she doesn't have that want, or drive, nothing you do will make it happen. I just want you to make sure that you are living for you, and you are going to be happy and healthy even if she chooses not to.

    You can be there and support, but you can't be miserable and unhappy because of their choices. She has to do the work. If she doesn't, it can make you sad, but focus on what you are doing for you. Look towards your future and your ambitions. You can live your own dreams and hope she doesn't give up on life.

    True and well said.

    Invite her for short walks and encourage her to tell you when she's ready to walk longer, encourage her but allow her to lead the rest of the way. It's like trying to work out at over 200 pounds next to your totally hot 120 pound friend...you feel stupid and you feel like you have so far to go, but she may just need to see that it gets easier and offer to cook occassionally and make something that is healthy and tastes great to expose her, then after that it is up to her.

    Offer to cook healthy meals, go grocery shopping with her to make healthy choices. Invite her to do activities like going for a walk, swimming, go window shopping anything to get her out of the house and moving.
