It has been a while since I have posted and I know I promised to give updates but unfortunately I really haven't had much good news to share.To give you all a TL;DR: About 5 months ago, my 550 pound, 15 year old step son decided to change his life and start working out with me which made me very proud!I regret to inform that my step-son has fallen back into old habits and has gained back all the weight he had lost plus even more (I am sure he's over 600 pounds today).To be honest, he did not stick with his weight loss program that long and began to get very emotional and combative with me every time i encouraged him not to quit. And look, il just be honest, I am a scrawny 140 pound man.... I cant just pick him up and force him.Long story short: he won, I lost and for the past 4-5 I just kind of let it go and just decided to continue forming a loving relationship with him. And things have been great! With the pandemic, i work from home, so we pretty much spend all our time together and we make great gaming buddies!With that said, I dont know how much longer I can just pretend this is not an issue.I myself have decided to drop refined sugars and processed foods to try and lead by example and Im honestly in the best shape of my life.My muscles are defined and iv developed a legit six pack of abs. I was hoping my success would help motivate him again but he just doesnt seem to care.It pains me to have to watch such a bright & awesome kid be so sedentary and eat so much. He deserves so much more from life.I just want to help him but it is clear he doesn't want help and to be honest his mother is not really doing much to encourage him either. Im feeling like the hopeless & opinionless step-dad again and it sucks. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2RU46f2
