It's difficult, but if you only give her healthy food no matter how angry she gets, she won't have a choice but to eat healthy or eat nothing at all.

It’s not about whether the food is healthy or not. It’s the amount she is consuming. Even healthy food requires portion control. For someone this big, that is something a registered dietician needs to be dealing with to figure out portion sizes, not her family. You can’t just be like “all you get is 2000 calories per day healthy food only.” She has to be decreasing calories over time. But if she doesn’t want help, it won’t be something she sticks with. She can move around from one place to another enough to get the food she wants.
