A letter writer shares their concern with columnist Carolyn about their sister, “Eileen.” As a child, Eileen struggled with weight issues. Their mother focused on healthy eating and exercise, while their father kept an abundance of sweets and junk food at home. This led Eileen to overeat during visits to their dad’s house, resulting in weight gain.
Over the years, Eileen experimented with various diets, but none provided lasting results. It wasn’t until three years ago that she enrolled in a behavior modification program and experienced success. This program helped Eileen lose weight and improved her overall well-being. Despite her success, the letter writer remains worried about Eileen’s rigid approach to food and her reluctance to discuss the topic. They fear these issues may indicate underlying concerns that could affect her long-term health.
