Should I say something

I'm at my wit's end at the moment. My husband and I are both obese. I'm working really hard at the moment to try change that. I used to be obese, lost 6 stone, was still overweight but then had 3 pregnancies including one second trimester loss and the weight has creeped up again. Have been diagnosed type 2 diabetic and need to lose weight..no more putting it off. So have been eating healthy and exercising for the past 10 weeks and Im doing really well.

My husband has never lost weight. He said he would do healthy eating with me.. which he has but hasn't lost any weight. Every night he goes to the shop for milk or bread or something...I suspect he binge eats there and puts rubbish in the bin. I've suggested I go a few times but it clashes with bedtime for the boys So he just goes. Even if I have everything in the house, he will need deodorant or some nails or something in the shop. I'm worried about the future and what will happen if he doesn't get his act together. He's never honest with me when I ask him about it.. doesn't know why he hasn't lost weight etc.

In the last few months, 2 recliners on our sofa have broken.. they are where he usually sits. My heart sank recently when I walked into the room and he was sitting in my spot... I just know that recliner will go too. Our office chair is also broken now too...

Has anyone been in this situation... Please help. We've talked before about losing weight and he always says he will but never does

I should add he wasn't as obese when we met. Weight has crept up over the years

I would be very blunt with him as he is putting his life at risk.
And well done for losing weight as it's not easy especially when you are doing it on your own.
