dh's weight

My DH is 22.5 stone, diabetic, high blood pressure, tired, grumpy, unfit etc, etc, etc.
His weight and subsequent health issues occupy a lot of my waking thoughts but very few of his.

I end up telling myself the alcoholic's mantra of I didn't cause it, cant control it and cant cure it.
His main issues are eating out a lot with work, always making the wrong choices when doing so, ie always roast beef never chicken or fish, and drinking too much and taking virtually no exercise.

His dad dropped dead of a heart attack at 71, he is 46, we have two small children who love him and want him in their lives - I have reminded him of all of this and he agrees with me at the time but actually changes nothing.

Has anyone got a DH that actually had that epiphany that made them get off their arse and do something about their weight?

Alright... wasn't having a go - was just saying that a lot of fat people know what they need to do... they just don't do it.

Sheesh...
