Just because you don't think you can do it doesn't make it impossible. It makes it difficult. A person can go from hating beer to enjoying it. Go from hating water to liking it more than any other drink. And you can begin to look forward to a cup of low fat yogurt and a banana at breakfast. Positive reinforcement when you start losing weight helps also.
And maybe not jogging, but walking. And if she can't walk, crawling. You have to start somewhere and whatever increases your heartrate a little is a good thing. Hell, for her maybe rolling over is an exercise.
Oh and read what Wikipedia states on overeating in obesity:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight_gain#Overeating
Overeating
In its simplest conception, obesity is only made possible when the lifetime energy intake exceeds lifetime energy expenditure by more than it does for individuals of "normal weight".
When food energy intake exceeds energy expenditure, fat cells (and to a lesser extent muscle and liver cells) throughout the body take in the energy and store it as fat.
In all individuals, the excess energy utilized to generate fat reserves is minute relative to the total number of calories consumed. This means that very fine perturbations in the energy balance can lead to large fluctuations in weight over time. To illustrate, an obese 40 year old who carries 100 lb of adipose tissue has only consumed about 25 more calories per day than he has burned on average - or the equivalent of an apple every three days. In comparison a very lean 40-year-old who carries only 15 lb of body fat will have exceeded his daily energy expenditure by about four calories a day - the equivalent of an apple every 18 days.[citation needed]
This goes back to my point that she has most likely been overeating for the majority of her life. Probably by a significant margin as opposed to the apple example.
