My bf wants to lose weight. Rather than exercising daily or making better food choices, he simple eats too few calories. I suggested that we exercise more and make better choices. Nothing too drastic. He agrees, but then he makes little effort to do it. When I cook healthy foods (baked chicken vs. fried chicken or fruit vs french fries) he eats it. At restaurants he drinks/eat high calorie/fat/sugary drinks/foods. He awon't turn down "bad" food when family cooks it for him. Why doesn't he make an effort to learn what's more healthy? (Read a book, take a class, and etc). Why can't he say no ? Why am I the one to suggest that we go for a bike ride or walk?
Why won't he change? Is it because he's only doing for me? He claims he wants to change. He eats healthy foods when I cook it. He doesn't do it on his own. He doesn't make an effort to learn what's healthy. What can I do to encourage him but not nag? How can I make him do for himself and not for me?
