[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 326179, member: 1233"] I STRONGLY encourage you to not force him to go to this. While my parents rarely focused on my weight, my aunt and grandmother were positive I had an eating disorder and was either anorexic or bulimic. They hassled my parents and I, dragged my uncle into it, and I just flat out refused to eat anything around them. Period. I still ate, and ate quite a lot. I DID have some problem the docs couldn't figure out and I rarely ever felt hungry. THose signals got lost somewhere. As sensitive as Manster is to how you perceive him, it won't matter that this is designed to help him get healthy. It will still be perceived as "They think I am fat." . This is how he has reacted to other discussions about weight, or it is as far as I can recall from past posts. You could leave a brochure around, but don't bring it up. I would not leave too many brochures around because he will assume that you are trying to hint that he is fat. Just concentrate on having healthy food around in reasonable quantities. [/QUOTE]
