It's awesome that he has support and a "mentor" so close! Did he approach you or you approach him about this? I've got friends that I want to talk to too, but it doesn't look good with a drunk, talking to another drunk about how to be sober, lol. I need more progress first.

Funny, some people know nothing about calories and what's good and bad for us like my friend. I was counting her calories for a few days and everyday she was at 3000/4000, no wonder she is gaining weight. She is blaming it all on a slower metabolism because she is getting close to 40, but really, she is just eating like a piggy.

They think because it's only "a small size", it's not bad. I used to feel that way about Little Debbie's.... it's only 2 little cupcakes. Then would eat 2-3 packs. It's not for us to tell them what they're doing is lethal. Unless they ask.... then they probably won't listen.

It's amazing how much calorie dense, nutritionally sparse foods people will justify. Then they make the claim they have "a slow metabolism". I've realized that gaining weight is a matter of more calories in than your body burns. What really opened my eyes is tracking everything I ate. It's a real eye opener.

Freeze fruit!!! It's one of my favorite cold treats on the summer. I'm not eating fruit now as I'm on a keto diet, but this is a GREAT alternative to some of the junk he's eating.

Rocker. That reminds me of a song lyric... you're saying "... then they probably won't listen. ~Once in a while I'll see somebody 'bout to make the same mistakes as me - so I'll try to do something good and save them a little grief - I'll say, hey you get away from that thing, it's about as hot as hell - they'll smile and thank me very much and then, go and touch it for themselves.~ Art of living - The Boomers
