unpredictable. How do I argue with that? We're both obese but I'm trying to change and he's not.
His logic for not dieting is everyone dies, you can't prevent death.
Also he says some fat people live to an old age and some young healthy people die of a heart attack, or a bus hit them, etc. Death is random and being fat does not always means you're going to die young.
Even if I show him stats of how many fat people die of a heart attack vs how many people die from a being hit by a bus, since no one knows what will happen in his life he refuses to apply the statistic to himself.
He's just being immature. He knows he's over weight. He's tried to lose weight and failed. He wants to eat what he wants to eat. He's a control freak and won't allow anyone to tell him how to do anything. SO all that coupled together means he finds any excuse not to diet.
I want him to diet for his health's sake, we're in our 30's, unmarried with no kids. We could have a lot of life ahead of us and I want him to live as long as possible because I love him. When I bring up dieting he guilts me by saying I just want him to get thinner because I'm not attracted to him.
This is not true. I love him as he is.
I just want to know if there 's anything you all can think of to say to him to poke holes in his argument? I just want him to see my side and he refuses to.
