[quote=Anonymous]Your brother knows he is fat. He knows that's not healthy. However, his being fat isn't illegal and it doesn't put anyone else at risk of harm (unlike drunk driving or illegal drug use, for example). If you can do something concrete to help your brother--ask him to be your gym buddy or something--do that. But just telling him that he's really fat and it scares you isn't going to do anything except make him feel worse. I have a morbidly obese brother who doesn't exercise and eats out all the time. Since I live on the other side of the country, I can't exercise with him. He knows he's overweight, but he doesn't want to talk about it in any kind of constructive way, so there's nothing I can do. He's an adult, and he has the right to make his own bad choices. If he was trying to get healthy, I would totally support him, but I can't motivate him to try (my mom and I have tried). [/quote]
