Although this isn't a typical trp question I'm posting this here because I don't know where else to and because this community has helped me in the past.

The short story is my parents don't live the healthiest lifestyles. The are both slightly overweight, drink regularly and are in their mid 50's. They have made attempts to loose weight and be healthier over the past few years, my dad has had periods where he excercises and eats well for months at a time, but my mum hasn't done anything for longer than a month.

They have both expressed concerns to me about their health. I know their unhealthy lifestyles are potentially taking years of their lives.They have seen me make drastic changes to my body and lifestyle over the past few years. I have had conversations to them about excercise and nutrition, they talk about making changes but never do.

If they weren't my parents I would give up and tell myself other peoples actions are out of my control. But I think there has to be something within my power that will get my parents to be healthier. So what do?
