I have been at college for the last three months and when I returned home, I noticed that the house is messier than ever and my sister has gained a lot of weight, approx 10lbs + in about 3 months. All she does, which I notices towards the end of the summer, is that she comes home from school, eats a "snack", usually something really, really salty and full of carbs (not good, I know), then she sits on the computer until my mother comes home from work, she has picked up more hours in a new department. I keep telling my mother that things need to change, but they do not. My father is not in the picture, and my older brother is around less than I am, so I feel I must do something, but what? My sister is 7 years younger, in her early teens and weighs nearly as much as I do (approx 210lbs)!! This is not good at all! I almost had to start an argument with her to clean up a week's worth of dirty clothing from the main bathroom! It is embarrassing to even THINK of inviting people over.... SO, are there any SERIOUS suggestions to help motivate my mother and sister to keep this place clean and to get my sister to loose weight/get healthy...? I am only home for one week for thanksgiving, two weeks for christmas, and possibly 4 months for the summer....
