[quote=Anonymous]Mid-50s DH refuses to see a doctor. Weighs what he did in HS and practically looks anorexic. He was attributing the weight loss to the fact he no longer travels for work. That was fine as he needed to lose some weight but now he’s very, very thin and boney. He can no longer tolerate a wide variety of foods (anything with tomato, dairy, etc.). He eats but put on no weight. My teens have made comments. It is very concerning. How do you convince an otherwise competent adult to see a doctor? He looks frightening without his shirt which he never takes off (he’s never gone without a shirt and socks even in bed). He even acknowledges that he doesn’t look good and is frustrated that a lot of food isn’t tolerable any more.[/quote]
