I do not know how young your girls are but, personally, I would only bring them into this as a last resort. He may resent you involving them if he takes that as you using them against him. The whole experience may also be upsetting for the girls.lol douglas
hi, im sorry to hear your storyit must be so frustrating, watching him destruct at the end of the day all you can do is try to steer him in the right direction, you cant force him to change, is he aware of the needless suffering he could cause himself and you guys? maybe print out the dangers of complications and get your girls to give it to him, perhaps that will tug on hes heart strings, making him low carb options is an amazingly good idea but if hes going to buy and eat the junk food it is pointless, he so very lucky to have such a caring loving wife, i wished i could give you a secret weapon to make him wake up to it but im afraid i dont know the answer hopefully someone will come along with some ideas to help you help him
best wishes

Thanks for you replies and kind words. I am not expecting a miracle over night; and I do appreciate that its him that needs to make the move to change his ways. Our girls are early teens. They understand he needs to eat the right foods to stay healthy. We all eat the same foods together, but he now wants the 'occasional treats' as the regular stuff. He wants to treat himself at the weekend after a long week at work, which is perfectly understandable, but not when they then continue into the week days as well! I did manage to talk to him a bit after Christmas, and he did say that he knew he had to change his ways, but each weekend is always the last one he will have this cake or that sweet, and he will start to exercise again from next week........
