[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 1392315, member: 196960"] Hi [USER=350726]@Lillypad62[/USER] Your partner sounds like he's addicted to carbs. Like any addiction he needs help, it has to be his decision to seek out help and address. You cannot do this for him. He needs to realise he's addicted. Obviously you eating well isn't enough for him to see how bad his diet is. He needs a shock but not a dangerous one! Leave pictures of gangreous feet/toes on his laptop/phone or tablet. Tell him you've been on here and how so many posters wish theyd listen to early advice. Encourage him to be the wise one. Say it matter of fact without emotion. Ultimately its his job to wake up and smell the coffee and not yours to wake him up. He needs to find his independence. Try not to mother him. He needs tough love! [/QUOTE]
