I have a very good friend who is slowly killing himself with his lifestyle choices.   To be specific, he is eating himself to death.  We play golf together, and he has gotten to the point where he pronounces himself "whupped" after just a few holes.  We're riding in carts!   Now he says he is thinking of giving up golf.   I feel like I am losing my golfing buddy and a very close friend because he chooses french fries and donuts over golf.   I really think he is going to die young if he doesn't make some serious changes. 

 

What to do?   Have any of you ever had a friend who seriously needs to eat better and exercise more?   Do you talk to them about it?   How can you tell a friend "You need to go on a diet.  You need to give up the french fries."  

 

Seriously, how can someone choose french fries over golf?   That's mind boggling.   He's an intelligent guy.  Surely he can see this.   Do I need to give him a little push in the right direction?   Or is it none of my business how a person treats their own body?
