Dear Ebie: Me and my wife went to our annual checkup seven months ago. We were both at overweight and was told by our respective doctors that we needed to make some changes in the lifestyle to improve our health. Since then, I have made the necessary changes. As a result, I lost 40 pounds, and all of my votals are within a healthy range.
My wife has not made any changes. There is no weight loss, and it has to take medication medicine for two problems. When I have made sacrifices, He has made excuses. I love it so much, but I’m very disappointed. I’ve been positive and encouraging, but it seems that it doesn’t help.
We are both at the age in which we need to take our health seriously. This is not about the look or the appearance. It’s about health. I really want to live a long and healthy life together. If there is a suggestion that you can provide, I’m open to hear it.

Dear Fitter: In addition to a healthy exercise and a model of eating habits for your wife, you have nothing to do at the moment it is running. Changing one’s lifestyle (or not) is a personal choice. The encouragement has to come from the inside, and it has to be determined to try. His doctor, not you, discuss with these changes and his reasons. Even small changes can make a big difference.
Dear Ebie: I have a 7 -year -old granddaughter, “Emma.” She’s beautiful, smart, happy and amazing. His father, my grandchildren, and his mother are no longer together, but he is in custody. After that, my grandson is found with Baby Mama No. 2 and has two more children.
Emma’s life has not been the easiest because of fighting and differences. Her mother is also with the other man and her other children. His mother’s boyfriend is not good for Emma. My grandson is trying to get his full custody.
Yama is bright and intelligent. I want to talk about freedom from her and don’t relieve her to help her. I know that at 7 o’clock she is still very young to understand. What is a good age to teach her freedom and how to provide for yourself, and is it healthy to stay with someone without relying on it, instead of giving a man a need?

Dear “GG”: This is not a timely lesson you are trying. This is a lifetime process. The first thing you should do is to be a role model for Emma. Expose this to books and videos about women who are free, instead of relying on men, making a career for themselves and living for themselves. Then teach his self -esteem. If you do, they are the lesson she will take with her.
