[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is nothing you can do. My close co-worker's husband (late 40s) just had a heart attack due to his lifestyle. it's put pressure on her to continue caring for their two young children (9 and 5, I believe) and she's really irritated about it. She's had to miss work, stretch herself, and take a financial hit since he is an hourly worker (electrician). There is impact to you. Hopefully you have life insurance on him from when you were younger.

The only advice I have is to share how this impacts YOU. Ultimately, though, he has to want to change. I'm sorry, it sucks.[/quote]

This.

Everyone has told my Obese BMI husband to get his act together and lose weight- eat less, start exercising, get a normal sleep schedule. 
He won’t. He has other problems too so lashed out at most suggestions and digs in more. Why anyone would do that about their own health and appearance beats me, but I have detached and stopped caring.

His obesity reflects his priorities not mine. He was obese as a teen as well; his parents were neglectful, focused on the asd/dyslexic younger brother, and the dad brought home a sugary store pie every night. That was love to them: sugar, sweets and dessert. Still is.

I can’t help him. I tried for 12+ years and now it’s out of control. He inhales food and eats portions like he’s a linebacker. Oh well.

One kid has the same impulse eating issues and lying about it as him. I basically can’t keep stuff in the house she’ll eat a 2 week supply in 24 hours.

He just bought $50 of Girl Scout cookies. Who knows where they are, hope the two kids don’t eat and hide them. [/quote]
