Hi aries,
"Maybe you could start being an example? Go out for a walk a couple of times a day. Make healthy eating choices. 'Forget' to buy junk food. Get a checkup."
I am an example. I do cardio (3 miles) as often as the weather allows. I'm a health food nut. Our diets are actually the complete opposite. I rarely eat meat and stick to vegies, whole grains, tofu, etc. I don't buy the junk. He does.
I do, however, bake cookies and cakes from time to time, in an effort to keep him away from the Little Debbies and gross stuff such as that. I use canola oil, omega 3 eggs, and add oats to my baking to keep the goodies the healthier versions.
Checkups? I am more on top of my health than anyone I know. I get advanced lipid analysis 4x/year and my annual sonograms. That's just four visits a year just with my primary care physician. Then there are the rheumatologist, cardiologist, osteopath, etc visits.
Most people are not like me, I realize all too well. Thanks for the advice anyway!
