When I met my boyfriend 6 years ago, we were both very very thin. We have both gained weight over the years, which is a given since we were 17 when we met. His weight has constantly gone up and down but stays mostly up. I like to eat healthy and exercise. my health is important to me, but my b/f doesn't seem to care about his. he has been at his heaviest the past 1 1/2 years and the other day he ate 6 Mc Donald's hamburgers in one meal. I find his eating habits disgusting. He has no energy and never wants to go out. when I try to get him to eat properly he gets very defensive. Im afarid that he will develop diabetis since it is common in his family. I have become unattracted to him sexually and I get bored sometimes because all he wants to do is be on the computer or watch tv and eat. He has low self esteem and a quick temper. I love him and don't want to leave, but I don't know what to do to help him without hurting his feelings. I have tried everything.

Well, if he keeps going at this rate he might seriously hurt himself and his body. He may have extreme health problems. Perhaps suggest that the two of you diet and exercise together - start small, maybe just go for walks after every meal. Be supportive and maybe cook more so that you can make sure he is eating healthier. If all else fails, your only option may be to walk away.

He might go through some changes so let him know that eating health food is important and do it together. As long as he would like to work on it, you can take it from there ;-)

How about going to a book store and getting some books on how to live a healthy life. He needs to know that you are concerned about his health as well as your own. That you BOTH together should strive to lose weight and get healthy.

Just talk to him so that he knows where you are at. If he does not want to change start doing things to make you happier (going places and doing things with friends) . If he has a problem with that then may start to change or be time to seperate.

"when I try to get him to eat properly he gets very defensive" Then Stop trying to mother him. He has a mother, it's not YOUR place to get him to eat properly. If you don't want to be a part of his life and accept him as he is then split with him.
