Yes to all of that. You do you. Anyone who thinks otherwise is someone with serious control issues. You don't get to decide what other people eat -- unless they're children. You don't get to force your exercise regimen on other people.
This holds particularly true if you're a SAHM who spends all day at the gym who is yelling at some poor dude who works fifty or sixty hours a week that when he gets home he needs to work out. In that case, he should yell back and tell
you to earn some money, read a book, etc.

Would you like it if someone decided to 'help' you to do something -- like get a raise, finish your degree, etc. You're not helping anyone lose weight, you're nagging.

Why can't you exercise together? Go swimming together at an indoor pool, sign up for a gym membership, etc.

Take a spin class together. That way you have no excuses b/c you paid for the class and there is a set time/place. It makes you both more accountable that way.

My DH is on the fast track to type 2 diabetes just like his dad who got it at 42. He knows it, and yet still gets those double quarter pounders and large fries with a large Coke Zero. I hope it’s worth it. I’m tired of telling him the health risks, do it for the kids, do it for yourself, I’m not attracted to you, etc..

Don't even bother. Nobody loses weight bc somebody else wants them to.
