So yeah thats my question in the topic I Live with my dad he is extremely obese I seriously think hes pushing 40% BF right now.
I mean hes turning 48 in June and like im honestly worried about him in terms of health he had a heart attack about 4-5 years ago and he was on track after that losing his weight and being more active. But Once he got laid off from his job about 3yrs ago he has never thought of his health that much.
Im trying to get him to be more active but it seems I need to hold his hand in order to even have him do that. I mean we have a treadmill in the house and i ask him “So your gonna walk to today?” he just says “Yeah” and then never does it, i mean this has been going on for a LONG time its driving me crazy.

Only time he will go is if I offer to go walking with him outside on the weekend. I don’t mind it but im not gonna lie its boring walking and inorder to have him build up any kind of sweat i have us walk for about 45minutes at least. To be fair I don’t ask as often as i should to go walking outside. I kinda feel like im some what of an Asshat when Im doing nothing and I don’t ask him to go walking.
And as for food he is like the rest of Americans in the country he hardly eats all day and has a big carb loaded dinner or in general will just have a big amount of food, Almost as much as me and im fucken bulking.
And Families i hate so much they help feed his fatass. Like today we go visit my aunt and she makes enchiladas and makes everybody plate and gives me and my dad 3 enchiladas and everybody else 2. Like WHAT THE FUCK are they oblivious to his weight? I understand kindness and etc but really. I know it may seem small but in its always like that with family members they keep offering him food or giving him extra and my dad doesn’t say no to be rude. Its really fucked up.
Worst of all his when he has snacks at night like he will even try to hide him bringing it from the kitchen to his room before he goes to bed its frustrating to me that he does that.
So yeah this is basically a rant and also seeking advice. Honestly I have never confronted my dad about this probably just out of fear of him taking offense to it or him just not doing anything if I talk to him about it, I guess im basically what TC describes in his “Class of 2009” I really never learned how to talk about serious shit with my family. I know im a pussy for not having a long talk with my dad about but I seriously doubt i could do that .
