I have only been with DP a few months so am reluctant to bring up his diet with him, I'm sure most would say it's none of my business but I'm genuinly worried. And to be honest, it's putting me off getting any further involved with him.
Before I knew him properly, he had a gastric band fitted to help him lose weight. He was morbidly obese and in danger. He then lost weight very quickly and is now down to 16 stone. He lost around 12 stone in weight.
Thing is he has managed this simply because he's had no choice. He physically cannot eat more than he needs. But he's still eating crap all the time. He doesn't seem to have changed his attitude towards food at all, he just eats much less because he is physically restricted.
For instance he will eat a packet of crisps for his breakfast or a bacon sarnie. Sausage rolls, chocolates and cakes for lunch, sausages, take-aways etc for dinner...I have raised an eye-brow a few times and he assures me it's all fine as he's no longer eating too much of it. He genuinly doesn't understand what he's doing wrong.
The other day I was at his house and he cooked me a meal. It was lovely, roast pork, veg, yorkshire puddings ... then when he served it out he sat down without any and said "I'll have mine later" surely the whole point of having a meal together is to eat together? Anyway when I went home it occured to me that he'd not eaten anything all day apart from some crisps in the morning. He let it slip later that he didn't have any of the roast dinner when I left, instead he ate an easter egg.
Yesterday he came around to take me to a job interview. He was in very high spirits and said "I'm doing so well with my diet, I'm really pleased with myself" He then went on to say "All I've had to eat today is a packet of crisps ... and I'm not even hungry!" this was about 4pm.
I began to question his vitamin levels and general health eating this way and he got quite defensive and said "I'm doing fine, the nurse said my tests were fine".
When we went shopping, he just bought biscuits, chocolate milkshakes and icecreams.
It is putting me off because I think it makes him appear quite ignorent, surely it's common sense that this is a stupid way to eat? and also, I suppose I feel he should be making more effort. If I was in a new relationship, I wouldn't be stuffing my face with crisps and chocolate every 5 minutes.
When the band is taken out, I'm worried he will just balloon again as all he eats is junk food and he does no exercise.
AIBU to bring it up or should it remain none of my business? I don't want to come across as the nagging woman already but I think it's ridiculous.
