[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I haven't read the entire thread, so apologies if this is a repeat. But can you think about what YOU might find both kind and motivating if you were the one who needed to lose weight? I struggle with this, too. My DH was 5'9" 165 when we met and is now 215+. He knows he needs to lose weight to be healthy, and I know he feels unattractive, too. But my efforts to provide lower-calorie food or propose walks we can do together haven't been that successful. So the above is a question I'm asking myself, as well.[/quote]

OP again.

It's not a repeat, but some good suggestions were offered by others in this regard: don't comment, don't badger, and model good behavior; help by providing good food and modelling good eating habits.

Personally I think this kind of thing only goes so far: you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink.  I do think at some point you have to let the chips fall where they fall: if you aren't attracted, then your ardor shifts and the consequences are apparent.  My sibling's husband was like your husband, and nothing she's done has really worked.[/quote]
