It's been a bit of an eventful last couple of days (a situation at work discussed in my other thread), and I have another thing I would like some thoughts on.
My sister is, quite frankly, really overweight, quite probably clinically obese. It's really a case of eating too much and not exercising enough, perhaps I seem harsh but this is the reality.
Anyway, to her credit, my sister has been trying to lose weight for the last five years and nothing has really worked. She has now become obsessed with the 'tape worm' weight loss method (I'm not sure the technical name, but she explained it as taking this pill and then the tape worm eats all your food). I had never heard of this before but I googled it this evening and it seems there are loads of cons to this method and it certainly sounds very dangerous to me (not to mention disgusting). Anyway, my sister has bought these pills off the internet (God knows where from) and is adamant she is going to take them.
She says I am trying to stop her from losing weight by asking her not to do this. Am I being unreasonable for trying to stop her from taking these pills? Has anyone had any experience of this method? I really don't know what to do to try and convince her to not do this as I'm almost certain there is nothing I can do as she is sure this is her only way.

To try and convince my sister not to take extreme measures to lose weight?
