[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the heat attack thing never works bc the person can easily observe reality - tons of people who are carrying an extra 50 pounds are just fine

If you find him unattractive bc you view home as lazy or weak for being overweight you need to accept that and deal with your feelings [/quote]

OP here. He is on three medications for his heart and lipids. He is at very high risk for HA / MI. Per his cardiologist. He had a great deal of plaque and multivessel disease. He found out about this three years ago when he turned 50. I thought this would be a wake up call.  It wasn't. He just gained weight and i forgot to mention, picked up an occasional nicotine habit. Its bad.. I'm upset and angry.  He does exercise a lot though.  [/quote]

I am sorry, OP, I am in the same situation, except that my husband has all of the conditions you mentioned and he does not exercise or take medications. It has been like this for decades too. He got a life policy some time ago for only 10 years (because his plan was to get a cheaper policy after losing weight--it didn't happen, obviously) and it will expire in a couple of years, and of course now it is even more expensive to get. His eating habits are also way off and are affecting the family eating habits--what's available for kids to see and eat. I am not happy. I do not have solutions anymore. Our insurance will even cover weight loss program and he does not want it!!!!!!!!! I am at my wits' end.[/quote]
