There's a lot of shame and embarrassment around being obese. "We have a tendency to think weight is our fault. So if somebody is heavy, they do not want to discuss it because they're ashamed," says David Katz, director of Yale University's Prevention Research Reduce Weight Fruta Planta Center?. "One of the things that we have to accept is incorporated in the modern world, the majority of people tend to be heavy. So you are a tiny bit abnormal if you aren't heavy."

When seated with mom or dad, the most important thing is to be respectful beginning with asking permission to talk about their weight. This is how physicians often broach the subject, based on Robert Kushner, director from the Northwestern Comprehensive Center on Obesity?. "You're providing them with a chance to decide if this really is something they would like to talk to you about or otherwise," he states. "The most of the time a person will say 'Sure, give me an idea to speak about?'"

If you are concerned about their reaction, Katz, a U.S. News blogger, suggests focusing the conversation on love. Inform your parent: "I would like you to live long and prosper. Anything this is a threat to that particular, that's something I wish to confront," he says. "Maybe they need the help, maybe they don't, but certainly nobody will probably be terribly offended by: 'I love you, and I thought this can be a menace to you. So if I'm able to be useful, I want to be useful.'"

But make certain you're truly concerned about your parent's health - and never his or her image. "You might enjoy it if they were thinner, but if there's no real compelling reason anybody needs to worry about their weight, well then frankly, mind your personal business," Katz says.

However, "if there is a parent who's Lishou heavy and on medication for top blood pressure level, cholesterol, diabetes or is increasingly at risk of that ... it's actually irresponsible not to talk about it."
