[quote=Anonymous]My husband is 39 and is pre-diabetic and his plaque on his heart. He walks a lot and is average weight, but eats horribly. For breakfast, he’ll have a muffin, a donut, oatmeal, an espresso, and a sugary drink from Starbucks. Lunch is two Peanut butter sandwiches and chips. Dinner is whatever I make- usually something healthy-ish, then he rounds things out by eating a pack of Oreos (like what you buy at the store for your family) and some popsicles. He also vapes throughout the day/night.

I have tried unsuccessfully to get him to change his habits as diabetes is no joke. He says I’m fat shaming him when I bring up my concerns about his vaping and diet and that his work is stressful. Anyone else made headway with this type of thing successfully? I know he has to want to change, but I fear he will need a diabetes diagnosis to actually change (he is due for an appointment with the doctor to check his blood sugar, but says he’s too busy to schedule an appointment).

FWIW, I’m thin, run every day, and eat with more moderation. Not perfect and don’t expect him to be. [/quote]
