Answer 2

You could try to get him to see a doctor.

You could take over the grocery-buying and cooking for the house.

You could encourage him to walk with you (even in a store).

You can look into programs on the web for people who want to lose lots of weight. You could research lap band or gastric bypass surgery. There are new medications on the market--google them.

Honey, you have to realize that this is your brother's problem. Until he decides to cooperate, you cannot force him to exercise, or force him to chuck the oreos.

But you are a wonderful brother for worrying about him.

A dr. once said, that he'd rather have a fit and fat patient than a skinny patient who's not fit. Maybe you need to focus on the exercise?

Answer 3

He has to want it for himself. It is very hard to loose weight, if he hasn't seen the problem the only thing you can do is try to encourage him, but not nag or put him down. Point out that obese people do not live as long as others who have their weight more under control, his doctor can help with that. Good luck

Answer 4

Let him realize he is overweight !!
If you go to the gym offer to take him with you, get him out of the house,for a walk or a run
Be patient with him or get him going on weight watchers it is the best diet cuz u can eat whatever it all in the portions!!

Answer 5

Answer 6

Oh my goodness I'm so sorry about with your brother. But just talk to him say what if I help you out to lose weight. And go to the gym and also go outside and at least walk around his block. Because he's going to be nowhere in life. So just help him out and see if the rest of your family could help out too. I wish you a good luck. And I'm really sorry about.

Answer 7

Start exercising together. You may not be overweight, but everyone can stand to lose a few pounds or build muscle. Both of you could set some fitness goals and work on them together. You can follow up your hard work with a healthy meal.

This way, it isn't just you coming down on him, but both of you paying more attention to your bodies.

Answer 8

have him sit down with you and talk to him about it and the dangers of being obese. tell him how you'll feel if he dies.

if he doesn't listen, the only choice is to scare him a bit. show him a tape about the dangers of obesity.

and when he goes on a diet, you have to support him. exercise with him and eat healthy like he does too.

good luck!
