I'm somewhat pissed atm.

Alright here's a little backround...

In my family we have 9 kids *all in one marriage*. Well I'm the 6th child and oldest in our house atm. *the rest are off at Collage, Married etc...* and I'm a scrawny 6'3 *possibly '4* tall 16 year old white boy. Trying to you know "beef up" some. I weigh 150 I had gotten to 157 but now I've lost it *not intentionally = (*. Anyways, I have a younger sister who's 14, two younger brothers who are 11 and 10. My family is genetically rather skinny *even though we're also genetically prone to skin cancer on my Dad's side -_-* Anyways, so pretty much all of us kids have been reasonably skinny from age 6-19. *yeah we gain weight at collage* BUT my two youngest brother's *there's 7 brothers in all* are rather chubby. Simply due to sitting around watching TV, playing Xbox and not exercising enough. Another main contributing factor to their usual *for my family* weight gain is that they eat to much, To put it simply.
Now, for instance when we have...lets say... Pizza. Everyone get's an equal amount. Which means my little needing to lose some weight brothers eat the same amount as me. A tall skinny 16 year old who's still growing and filling out, And my Dad. It's insane because it just doesn't make sense. They should be trying to lose weight *and they are* so like I point out to my Momma they should eat less then they currently are and I should eat more. We shouldn't be fed the same amount of food simply because that's ridiculous for a 16 year old still growing boy to eat the same amount as an 11 and 10 year old who are somewhat overweight.

The problem is. My Momma after having 9 kids is rather overweight herself *can't blame her* So when I bring up the unfairness of this situation she just get's mad and accuses me of being insensitive since I have no idea what it's like to be overweight. I understand that she'd get upset about it but just because she and my little bro's are overweight doesn't give her an excuse for defending their behavior simply because she takes it personally. It makes it so I can't even bring up the subject without her getting upset. Thus, crippling any hope of helping my little brothers losing weight. It's just stupid and I'm fed up with it.

What should I do?

P.S I don't mean this to offend anyone if I did I apologize. I just had to get it off my chest.

Don't lose sleep over it.
If your brothers want to be fat, let them.
And nine kids, goddamn.

My younger brother is chubby, and is also tall. I, on the other hand, am not so tall but rather skinny. Not skinny like, skin and bones, im more than just that. I've figured, that after many years of telling my brother to lose weight, it is not up to me to make that decision.

My brother knows he is overweight, but refuses to do anything about it. It is all a matter of will power, my mother and father lost weight, though were never big to start with they just like to keep healthy. Me, I'm the average weight for my age/height.

As I said, you can try bringing it up with your family, get statistics to show how many people die of obesity or being overweight etc, perhaps sometimes that initial shock will make them change their mind. Though it isn't up to you to help the, it's up to themselves.

Hope that makes sense.

lol people are starving all over the world digging through trash for food and ur worried about making ur brothers losing weight

selfish

Tell your mom not to be so selfish?
She obviously isn't thinking about her kids if they are overweight and can easily prevent it.

Nothing. Let Natural Selection take its course.

... Then your family needs to take some chill pills.
Seems like they are too uptight.

On a serious note... What does your dad think about your brothers?

My Dad tries to help them lose weight. But, he's gone for most of the day working 2-3 jobs so when he come's home he's normally to tired to worry about it. My Mom's home all day so she's the one who should be able to help them. But she doesn't want to "hurt their feelings" so they skim by with maybe a smack on the wrist here and there but never anything to make them stop.

Sounds like its more of a symptom of a bigger problem then a problem itself.

Do you want to gain weight?


OT: If you want your brothers to get skinnier, not sure why you want that, then just tell them to not eat so much.

Encourage them to go out and play, and try to go and say, "Hey fatso, get the hell up and exercise for god's sake."(Not that I'm sure you'll do that thought)

Then again, just wait till your brothers are in high school, my big bro was fat during elementary, then as he grew up, he join more and more sports, where he is like, not fat, and somewhat has a build.

Since when your brother's grow up, they will then think about how people will look at them, and then they know what to do in order to be attractive you may say.

Should ask your parents where the tax returns go.

scare them tell them you gotta lvl 90 with full sosun thats gunna kick their ass if they try 2 kill u worked for me

My Dad couldn't kill me. He likes to think he can but we both know he can't. He's 54 btw.

Next time you have pizza take 5 slices and stuff them in your mouth.

Help your parents entice them with goodies. "Lost 10 kilos and we will go to Disneyland", ".... and ill buy you a Wii Fit" things like that. Maybe a Wii Fit wouldn't be such a bad idea.

Losing weight is done with a combination of eating in moderation, eating GOOD food, and exercising.

Plenty of things on there, just google guides to lose weight.

-1 They will just start throwing cuss' back at you. "No you're fat".. "No you're shit" ... "Fuck off" blah blah, They won't listen. Harassing them will not work.

tasdik, unlike most of the need less comments here, i understand wht you are saying...
If I were to tell something about my brothers/mother, my parents will get mad as well..
I think the right way to do it is to target your brother and try to make them change their habits.
Or, once my brother was failing, and I advised my parents to take off the internet for him to get better grade and it worked, kind of. Try to persuade your parents to stop their habits because they are effecting themselves in the future. Talk about the future about your brothers, that usually attracts parents.
