"How can someone choose French fries over golf"


Because food can be an addiction, just like drugs or alcohol. Except with the drugs and booze, you can go the rest of your life and never touch them again, but you always have to eat. Could you image being an alcoholic and having to drink a little every day just to live? Your friend is aware of what the food is doing to him, but it might be something that he is unable to give up on his own without help. Don't just go at the guy with "you're fat and need a diet", that's just gonna make him shut down and be mad at you. Tell him you're worried about him, go at it from a place of love. My aunt found help at Overeaters Anonymous and Weight Watchers , being able to talk to people dealing with the same issues seems to help her.
