[@sarahstrong7174]

The trouble is doctors often do not give the right information. You can stick to a diet & be exercising & even though you stick with it the weight loss can stop completely dead. What needs to be understood is that for some people their hormonal set up is such that even if they do the diet & exercise the weight loss will not happen. You need to look at ways to change your hormonal set up. Unfortunately this can happen as a result of intense trauma & abuse in childhood. Cortisol blocks fat loss.

[@Christian-fd2ct]

​@@sarahstrong7174 generally you may be right. But for the vast majority of Dr now's patients it's a mental and physical addiction to eating and most likely not a hormonal issue.

Dr. Now is right - she's abusing the system, and I would bet that the hospital staff don't look forward to dealing with her.

After making her mother hold these 2 poor ladies at the front door for an hour, Margaret finally agree to let them inside but not before she yanked off the sheet she was wearing. So the therapists had to come in and talk to her pretending like she wasn’t laying in her bed naked as a jay bird with everything aggressively on display.

My mom throws screaming tantrums like that at me whenever I've tried to help her in the past. She'd scream "Shut Up! Go to Hell!" if I dared even attempt to speak. It was a living hell to be anywhere near her.

When I was in the hospital in the 90s my roommate weighed 600 lbs. She was there because the skin on her legs had split and was infected. She was in so much pain. Her doctor had put her on a diet. But her family would come in every night bringing a family-sized bucket of KFC, which she ate all by herself + a big brown paper grocery bag full of candy bars, snack cakes, & chips.

[@swagatadas5121]

Then what happened?

[@mandyfoy1041]

Wow!!!

[@catherinethorstenberg8957]

As a nurse, let me tell you it is INSANE how much food family members bring to patients. I’m not talking about getting someone a sandwich or soup or a *little* junk food every now and then. I mean some families set up a whole pantry’s worth of candy, fast food, sodas, energy drinks, potato chips. It’s almost like some people don’t know how to nurture their loved ones except through food.

[@AndreaJones-eh3sd]

@@catherinethorstenberg8957that’s insane, wasn’t there anything anyone could do to stop it. I get that hospital food isn’t the greatest but to actively harm the family member by bringing in such rubbish food so blatantly.

[@catherinethorstenberg8957]

@@AndreaJones-eh3sd what can you do? It’s not a prison. We can ban visitors from the hospital if they’re posing a serious, direct threat to the patient, like smuggling in drugs (which of course I’ve seen a few times). But in cases where they’re bringing in fried chicken and ice cream to a diabetic patient with a stomach ulcer? It’s bad but not enough for us to restrict them. All we can do is lecture the patient about the doctor’s orders. Some doctors will read the patient the riot act, others will diplomatically say “you do you.” But at the end of the day, patients have to make their own choices

[@MandatedReporter]

Cowardice is difficult for people to climb out of. For many healthy people instead of saying this is my fault or my shortcoming they blame others. She is no different than many abusers. She abuses herself, her support system and the system. Emotional maturity

[@jeacaklotom]

Send her home and leave her to her own choices

[@alyshiakroll15]

This will be an uphill battle. She clearly doesn't want to change. Like any addiction you have to WANT it. If you don't want to overcome your addiction, no amount of time, money, doctors, therapy ect. Will do any good.

I would not be able to deal with her. 35-year-old toddler. She is 30 years behind in maturing and becoming a woman. I know people who died at near 60 and still did not grow up, sad and frustrating because you cannot help them. I know, I tried and so have others.

If she throws a temper tantrum when not getting the food that she wants, LET HER. It's not like she's going to chase them around the house.

She's a brat. She's been given a life changing opportunity. I know its not easy, I've been there. I could nt walk 15 steps , and with the help of a physio I'm now capable of 8km. It took 3yrs. The way that girl is She's setting herself up for failure
