I got a gym membership for my fiance and he promised me he would go at least 3 times a week, and he barely goes once a week. He says he doesn't feel motivated enough, and he worries me cuz he works nights and all he does is eats chips and such as snacks. I'm at my wit's end with him about this and I just dont know what to do anymore.......

    You can't make him go to the gym and eat differently. You can help things if you're the one buying the groceries and cooking.. than he doesn't have much choice.

    Ultimately he needs to decide to go to the gym or change his eating habits without you pushing him into it. He may turn to resent you for it. Keep going to the gym yourself though. Ask him if he'd like to join you when you're getting ready to go but if he doesn't want to you can go alone. He may decide to join you when you keep going on your own.

    Good luck with it all. I have to count myself as lucky with my fiance. He's pretty good with supporting me in my journey.

    He supports my journey big time and always is encouraging of it. He sees the way I eat and all the results. He tells me he lacks the motivation. Problem is I can't control what he eats because he works nights and i work days so i'm working when he's home and he has free range to eat what he wants. He's always buying a bag of chips here and there, i'm alright to avoid them, i just don't understand how he can't be.
