[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 902647, member: 43498"] What does your mother think about it all? Who does the shopping? If it's your Mum, maybe you and her could stock the kitchen with healthier food and take away the foods and drinks that tempt him. Just as an exercise, for a day or two. Sometimes actions speak louder than words. I think he is scared of facing facts about his situation. He might think there's no hope of avoiding complications, and he might be dreading an imaginary future of unsatisfying food. It sounds like his thinking is distorted in many ways. Does he drink much alcohol? He might fear cutting down, if he is self-medicating for anxiety with it. [/QUOTE]
