Question about how to motivate a man to take care of health
I am very concerned about the way my boyfriend eats. When we first started dating he changed his diet to eat in a very healthy way and dropped about 15 lbs and was looking and always saying how great he feels. The last 5 months or so he's drinking more, eating more junk and fattening foods, put the weight back on and is irritable. I've tried to point out that he's not eating the way he used to but he seems to be in some sort of denial. I'm very concerned because we're thinking about moving things to the next level but I have worries about his long-term health since he has some serious health issues in his family. I've tried to bring this up to him before (numerous times) which didn't get too well received and then tried to point out when he was eating poorly so he'd realize that he wasn't in fact eating great. I think I am just coming across as a nag since he has now gotten on the defensive about it.
Question is, how do you motivate someone or help them get healthier with the situation I'm in? I love and worry about him so much. Any input from guys on how they would want to be approached (or maybe not approached at all?) would be appreciated.
p.s. please don't suggest sexual favors etc. We're doing just fine in that area.
