That's between him and god, not me

While I watched my husband eat his way to nearly being diabetic and 50 pounds heavier all I could think was why doesn't he listen to me? I remind him not to drink sodas, and please don't drink Monsters, stay away from drive throughs etc and I tried doing it lovingly, or at least what I thought was. 

I was scared to lose him, I didn't want him to have a heart attack.  I was so scared. I was frustrated too because he is an intelligent man and knew the right thing to do. Then one day he decided that eating right and exercising was what he is was going to do. He took his life in his hands, he made the decision and he has been able to reverse the negative health effects of poor diet and no exercise. 

This will be a hard lesson for me to learn. That even though I want him to be healthy, happy and alive :p it's not my decision to make.  It's his and not my responsibility.  How hard is that!
