I think my little brother finally gets it.

His was whining about his pants being tight and knee pain and he got on the scale for the first time in who knows how long and was shocked to see he weighs 347lbs. He's 5'8 lucky jerk he's taller than me. My brother loves to eat and struggles with depression so he has always gravitated towards food. Yesterday he came home from work with a bag of taco bell and didn't share with anyone. Our big brother told him he probably set a record for the fattest asian man in the world and said he should move to Japan to be a sumo. I told him that wasn't funny.

I get it because years ago i struggled with alcohol pretty badly and i too struggle with depression. I just don't know how to help him because even he said he know he needs to do something but doesn't know where to start or what to do

[@tempurshrimp] first of all your brother needs too realise this is far from healthy and when it accepts it that is a good starting point . the next thing is getting him too underatand what he doing too his body and the issues like blood pressure heart diesease and stroke if he carries on perhaps he needs an exercise regime just walking . i am about his height and retired the end of lat year where i was overweight then and with christmas too i had too do something so i have been walking an hour and a half each day weather permitting and i have lost weight sadly my downfall is not food but beer

@smiler2012 yeah and that's how our dad died...heart attack. Our dad wasn't a huge guy but he was overweight
