My niece is getting fat

You and your wife should just casually mention that you and your wife have put on some pounds lately and you are going to try to eat healthier so expect healthier meals at home.

What do you typically have for dinner?

This is a fantastic idea.

Some good advice

fat ppl.......

obesity is a big fat choice.

why wud anyone want to let themselves go? and if/when ppl actually see an expanding waistline, why dont ppl stop what makes that happen?

just lazy and stupid.

IS she related to honey boo boo ?

your niece likely suffers from some from of depression, food for some is a way of self medicating, why is she living with you anyways? are her parents divorced?

Be honest but be respectful..

Simple..

'My niece is temporarily living with me (one or two years tops)"

Could you expand on this a bit? It may have some reason to do with why she is compensating with food.

18 is way too young to be fat and lazy. Does the kid have a job? Tough nut to tackle head on with a conversation, but it sounds your heart is in the right place.

getting fat can trigger sleep apnea, the silent killer, google reggie white and sleep apnea

I'd be pissed if I had a fat, ugly, depressed, miserable niece living with me..

Leave her alone

Man. This is a tought one.

Perhaps you could go on a diet together. Show that bussa how to take carbs out of her diet. Show her how to exercise.

BBW porn is the only future this lost cause has

She's 18 and not getting any better looking so get to work pal

Get that heffer on a diet n make her work out 3-5 times a week

Show her some pictures of  what Covers degenerates look like and she'll be in the gym on Monday. OR, she'll join the forum and have something to do all day.

Until she starts to sweat gravy, I think she isn't really a porker.

You'd better hire a carpenter to reinforce the floor boards of your house.

All ya need is love, love.Love is all ya need.

Some pizza is okay, but I completely agree with the rest of your assessment.  Only problem is that most humans like myself are too lazy to get at least half an hour a day of exercise. 

Also, as you get older, it is much tougher to stay motivated and exercise, since most people recite the bullshit line that they are too busy to join you for a work out. 

Since your niece is living with you, stock the fridge and pantries with healthy foods and don't push her, but casually encourage her to join you during work outs.  If she politely declines, do not ask her again.   

First lead by example by eating fairly healthy and working out yourself on a consistent basis.  After a few months, if she is still a useless slob, have a long talk with her whether she likes it or not.

If she does not heed your recommendations, be a man and tell her to find somewhere else to live because she disgusts you with her unhealthy ways.  You may hurt her feelings and she may bawl like a spoiled baby, but she will likely respect you down the road for caring about her.   

Good idea.  It doesn't even have to be "a workout."  Ask her to join you for a walk around the block.  Join you to walk the dog, walk down to the store, anything that gets her up and moving around.
