>They've already expressed their interesting in getting /fit/.
really?
usually when you express interest in something, you get into it/start doing it

If I say I'm interested in football, but never play it or watch it, am I really interested in football or am I just saying some bullshit to say some bullshit?

ur senpai ain't interested in getting fit. they are just saying that because saying "nah son I'm okay with being a piece of shit for now" is rather hard to actually admit to yourself and others

How can I increase my The Press™? I've honestly been stuck on this plateau for so long now. Already do 5x10 side lateral flies, is there better accessory work I could be doing to increase this?

Mom still has the guts to drink diet coke with every meal.
They sometimes worry that I eat unhealthy ('too little') or that I exercise too much (gym 3x week)
Such is life in Mexico

Why, ma?

I used to be the same weight as her. Seeing the problems she has gotten with age (plus knowing my father is diabetic) is what snapped me out of it and got me to lose the weight.

I just kind of wish that the improvements I've made could have in turn inspired her to at least change her diet, since I know exercise would actual be difficult for her now

That's actually pretty sad. Maybe she's secretly depressed about her looks?

I thought keto was 20g?

When will parents learn?
If I had a gain for everytime my mom thought I was mindlessly starbing myself

dude coke is just a chemical cocktail of shit you don't need in your body, why drink it thrice everyday? no nutritional value, tons of calories, high sugar, and disgusting gas. It's a cheat meal, not your everyday drink
How much do you weight?

>>38851009
That sounds an awful lot like depression. I beieve it's easier to get yourself out of the hole the younger you are; my mom's 47 and she feels like her life is pretty much done at this point, when they diagnosed her as diabetic she just cried and cried feeling like it was an undeserved punishment. She also believes that when her sugar levels are normal-ish she is 'cured', then she gives 0 fucks, but then the levels skyrocket and she goes back to 'woe is me'
Talk to her before it's too late. My mom never listens when I explain her disease and the measures she should be taking to preserve her wellness. Maybe your mother could use some counseling, find out why she doesn't leave the house and what could make her want to do it again.
And exercise is always good, really. Even more with weakened joints, it just need to be adjusted to her possibilities, but strenghtening the body will always be a good idea for anyone.

the first step is admitting that you have a problem, the second is admitting that you actually want to do something about it.

Do you know any place where you can show them up close and personal the long-term effects of being a fat unhealthy piece of shit? Preferably on living targets, and especially on people they know or care about.

BBC recently did a show where they performed an autopsy on a 250lbs obese woman. Not a living target or someone close to them but it's very straight forward look at how they'll end up if they continue treating their bodies like shit.
