@hopeful33250 That's a good approach. The last couple of years we have seen a lot of him and his family in Maine at the lake because he was pretty much telecommuting but now he has joined a law practice in the town where he lives so he will be there less. When our paths do manage to cross there though I may try your approach, it's just how to start it off that will be tough. I brought it up to my husband today during our drive to MA to go to a funeral and he didn't sound totally opposed but he figures people will do what they will do in regard to that. I think in my position, having had problems that I am sure stemmed from my weight, I might be listened to more than just anybody. He is a very smart man, PhD in computer sciences, and then when he got tired of software he went back to school to become a lawyer! I am inclined to think that smart people usually do listen more.

@contentandwell - Smart people might be more open minded and listen more but that does not mean they will change. Speaking from experience, changing years of habits (not exercising, eating out or too much) is not a simple thing to do. It is possible but the person has to get to a place mentally and then have the time, desire, and community/family support to make the changes. I'm not saying try, you should, but as the saying goes, "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink."
Good luck! I'm all for planting seeds!
