I'm getting really worried about my brother....

Well, maybe I'm a bad example, cuz yeah. I would. I'd try for awhile. A LONG TIME probably. But, eventually, I would throw my hands up and let it go. I'd never cease to remind them that I'm here for them (unless they wronged me in some way) but yeah, I would. And my suggestion is to other people to do the same. It's you or him, honey. If he doesn't respect you (or himself) enough to even HEAR you, then it's futile. But, however you choose to handle it, best of luck.

You're not a bad example. You're right. I know you are. I have to wait on him deciding to change. Problem is, I don't think he ever will. Not even after a scare. My brother is the kind of person who has grown up getting EVERYTHING he wants. Even if he did get a scare, he may decide "ok diet time." but he wouldn't be able to stick to it because he has never been denied anything in his life, to expect him to deliberately deny himself the one thing that makes him happy (bad food) is just, frankly, silly. He would never do it. Sad but true. x
