He's a young guy. He's got evidence of plaque in his coronaries. He's got a wife and kids. And he's struggling to survive.
I went to the cardiologist yesterday. He is a shoot from the hip guy. He reviewed my lipid panel results with me. He was concerned with my HDL being 26. This is the hardest one to budge. Exercise helps. He told me that my ten year risk assessment was pretty ominous looking. Ten years. That is a short trip. That is an hour's drive. "It'll never happen to me."
Hungry. You know better than anyone that it WILL happen to you. What do you think folks? The comments over at his site seem to be split into two camps. One camp wants to kick his ass for not getting it into gear. And the other camp wants to hold his hand and tell him everything will be OK.
I don't know what approach works for you Hungry. I do know I took care of a 37 year old man with a stroke and subsequent hemiparesis. And guess what. He was just like you.
Just like you...

change the addiction.

Will lower his chance of MI CVA Cancer and make him feel better every day of his life.
choke it down if you must, but it must be taken daily.
or you can take the alternate path and see how it goes
If he REALLY WANTS to change, perhaps hypnotherapy would help him with his unhealthy approach and lack of motivation?
