I had a physical a few months ago, and I was very pleased that besides being obese I guess I'm in good health. But like the doctor said it's best to lose the weight now before it catches up to me...who knows how long that'll take. I realized that being thin doesn't always mean you're healthy. My husband has always been thin, and is a really good runner, but he eats out a lot and smokes quite a bit...he went to the doctor last week and found out he has high cholesterol, plus he's developing that horrid smokers cough. I get nervous because his family has a lot of health issues. I hope me changing my lifestyle and getting healthy will motivate him as well.

It might take awhile, but I'm sure he'll warm up to the idea of getting healthy with you. :) Just explain your concerns to him and take it from there.

He's always said he would quit smoking when I lost weight. Hopefully soon he will see how serious I am. I've mentioned my concern, but I hate to nag.

Sea, take it from my experience that him getting healthy is not going to be easy. I am surrounded by overweight family and friends that are just not ready to make the commitment I have. I also have 6 months off of cigarettes, and I have friends who are not ready to give that up. My cousin listens to me talk about my weight loss, or talk about others that could use a "program" in their lives, and she agrees with me, but she is very overweight herself and not in good shape. My friends are not much better. They are positive and supportive with me, but they are not ready to look at their own issues. I have this goal of wanting to be a weight loss therapist some day, but I realize that you can only help the willing. As a successful person, you cannot convince anyone that they need to take the plunge into a healthy lifestyle. Doctors can't do it, counselors can't do it, nurses can't do it, therapists can't do it. Nobody can do it until they are ready to do it. Alcoholics call it "hitting bottom". I guess with myself, I just have to be patient and I have to bite my tongue. Sometimes all you can do is be an example. I am always there and always ready for my friends and family if they need me to help them with being healthy. But no one is willing to take that step yet, and I can't force them, preach to them, point out things to them, nothing.

Dollie - Congrats on the 6 months!!!!
Sea - Personal experience has taught me that someone will only quit when they have made up their mind to do so. I will cross my fingers & hope with you! It is hard not to nag, especially when you worry because you see their health being affected. Hang in there, & if you need an ear, I'm here.

I agree unless they are willing to take that first step nothing I say will change their bad habits. I could have lost this weight years ago if I wanted, but I was never ready until now to make the changes.
