You can SEE that she is choosing to essentially kill herself but you really are powerless to DO anything about it. You can lecture, beg, reason...you can take all the junk food out of the house...you can send her to the best doctors in the universe and buy a gym membership for her. But she can just run down to the corner store and buy all the junk she wants, anytime she wants, because ultimately she is in control and she will do as she pleases. And nothing will change that until SHE wants to make a change.
