Kidney Stones Prevention
my sister is 31 years old and she has major health problems and the doctor told her that she need to watch her diet and cut out a lot of things that she eats .. she has had kidney stones and they are caused alot because of things she eats now we find her sneaking cereal one of the main things the doctors said not to eat .. ok the question i guess is .. well she has a home and a husband would it be wrong for us to tell her if she dont start doing what she is suppost then she is going to have to move out and go back to her house with her husband..

Sometimes you need to be tough with somoene to get them to realize they need to change. If you are too nice to her in terms of helping support her junkfood habit, is that going to help her?
Sounds like maybe some counseling is in order for her.
Good Luck.

She needs counselling- and yeah, why isn’t her husband looking after her, it’s in the vows…?

No, tuff love is the best. You are worried about her health and you need to let her know that. But you can’t harp on her. She has to be going thru a very difficult time right now and she needs to know that you will be there for her. But in the end, you need her to face reality. She is gonna die if she doesn’t stop. You need to tell her this, and tell her that you love her and that you want her around for a long time. Be tuff, it will work out.

either way it sounds like she is gonna cheat on that diet.
those kidney stones are painful. if she is going to be home alone i do not know if that would be a good idea in case she needs an ambulance to get her to a hospital right away. the way she is going she is either going to pass them on her own or a surgery is gonna be scheduled. apparently it sounds like she wants the surgery. ask her and tell her that is where she is headed.

Absolutely not wrong!
You can put simply as "My House – My Rules"!
And add that you did not bring her here to watch her commit suicide.
You could support her also by not eating things that she can’t. At least in front of her.

This is a tuff question. I know it’s hard to watch your sister making herself sick, but tellin her to leave is going to b even harder. However it really depends on your sister’s attitude towards things. She could take it as a wake up call, or she could take it as you being the bad guy. I think you need to think long and hard before you make any decisions on something like this. Ultimately you have to live with whatever you decide. I hope you can find a way to wake her up, maybe remind her how much you luv her, and how it hurts to see her making herself sick?
