One of my father's bypasses collapsed last night. I've been in the hospital for the last day and a half with him and my stepmother.

His doctor tells him he needs to lose weight, but instead he's been gaining weight. A lot of weight. He's up 30 lbs since the heart attack six months ago. I worry about him, yet I don't know how to get him to change his eating habits.

I'm definitely at risk for the same stuff he's going through. Whenever I eat with any of you reading, make sure I eat healthy stuff. I mean it! You're allowed to yell at me.
