He's so heavy that is now a major health concern. My parents argue about it alot. He's also really concerned about my mom spending money so he took her credit card away. That means that she isn't buying groceries which means he is eating out all the time.

Maybe you can start out by expressing your love and concern in a way that does not sound like nagging. Then offer real solutions like "Dad will you walk with me this evening?" Just walking 30 minutes a day would really help him to lose weight and it would show how much you care.. Dad can we eat at home more often? It is extremely hard for middle aged men to lose weight and keep it off. We don't live as active a life style as we did when we were younger. Good luck and God bless

Its difficult watching your parents behave this way especially your father. Try having a calm conversation with him. Tell him that you love and care for him and that he is a big part of your life. Tell him that you are very concerned about his health and are worried that something bad may happen as a result. Reassure him that you are telling him this because you want to him to live a long and healthy life and that he is a part of it.
Let me be clear that you can't get him to change only he can do that. All you can do is to encourage him and give give good reasons as to why he needs to change is lifestyle. Good luck with everything.

That is a serious problem! you should sit him down and tell him if he doesn't stop now and try to lose all his weight then he is going to have some serious health problems! Tell him that you are telling him this stuff for his own good and because you love him maybe he will take it to heart and try to lose his weight! You should go out and buy healthy food for him and make it for him maybe he will eat it! Good Luck!!!

Well it seems that your dad and your mom are the causes of each other's problems.
