[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 402240, member: 1233"] I hope the doctor tells him like it is. The zone diet that I suggested takes agreement, but you can learn to follow it and eat out pretty easily. It is one reason I suggested it. The bars actually taste pretty good and I HATE anything that remotely tastes like health food. Always have. My kids will pick a zone or balance bar over a candy bar most of the time if they have a choice - and they are not big into health food either. Is there any way you could give husband incentives to walk up and down stairs in his office building?My husband lost a bunch of weight when he would do this. He even worked up from 5-6 flights per day to 50 flights. Not all at once, but every couple of hours he would take 20 mins and go do the stairs. It made a BIG difference in his energy levels. The nagging stinks, but if he isn't going to take care of himself he won't feel good. You can refuse to listen when he whines and complains unless he is taking steps to get healthier. My mom used to do this with my dad when he had leg cramps. If he was wearing cheap shoes or old shoes then she wouldn't rub them when they hurt. Not until he got and wore good shoes because they made such a huge difference for him. She would walk away, pretend he wasn't talking, change the subject and even ask him to go take out the trash or do another small chore. Eventually he would clue in to why she wasn't listening to him. maybe this would work with your husband. Maybe some of the techniques from Love and Logic Parenting would help? maybe his health complaints shoudl drain all the energy out of you so you cannot do his laundry or make dinner or whatever. Soemtiems we have to use these on our husband's because it is like someone said on another thread - Some teen boys grow up to be men.... The rest just look like men.
