He’s completly stressed out work wise and doesn’t care about his health or exercise. He already has a congential heart defect that was corrected via surgery before he was a year old. He’s put on so much weight in the past 2 years or so and even wheezes if he walks too fast or tries to carry something heavy (our daughter for example). He says annually, before his cardiologist appointment, that his doctor is going to “kick his ***”, so he tries to cut back on eating and wants to take walks and such about 2 – 3 months before his annual appointment. Other than that, he just works and warms the couch on the weekends. He does play with our daughter at home on the weekends, but it’s difficult to get him to go out and do anything if it’s not previously planned. We had memberships to the gym of which was a waste of money as he could never get motivated to get there. I cook only what I think he’ll eat and then catch him in the ice cream or chips later. He, too, will say that he’ll go and get the milk only to come back about 20 minutes later having frosting on his breath from doughnuts or grabbing a burger at McDonald’s. Our daughter is only four. How can I get him serious about his health besides cooking only what we’ll eat, buying sugar-free or baked snacks, and trying to get him off the couch. We live in an apartment so buying a treadmill won’t work due to space and there’s no outside upkeep here to keep him in shape. Please HELP!
