How can I help my sister lose weight and be more confident?



She's 12 and has really low self-esteem and I don't want her to end up screwed up. I used to make fun of her weight when I was mad at her, and I've stopped but now I think it's all my fault she's this way. I have an eating disorder and I don't want her to have to deal with one as well. How can I help her 1) Lose weight and 2) Be more confident?

  1. "Carrot and stick"

  2. Help her to start making healthy choices and join you in exercise. You should tell her you are going to make the effort to overcome your eating disorder so you can become fit and healthy together. Never tell her she is fat and don’t go on about your own weight in front of her.

  3. Make her watch "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" It is quite inspirational and will show her that there are people in much worse condition who do something about their weight.
