Me [18F] and my boyfriend [18M] have been in a relationship for 8 months. We are very serious about each other, we plan on getting married in the next few years, and in many ways he is a very high value man (extremely intelligent, and in college for a degree that pays very well) but he just has this one problem- He literally does not care about his health at all!! We are both overweight (He needs to lose 30 I need to lose 15) but I have been losing weight because of eating healthier and getting exercise. However he has actually gained a bit of weight since we started dating, and he did try to exercise but he gave up after only a couple weeks and he refuses to do it again. He spends all of his time being sedentary and he overeats even though he claims that he is eating better. He doesn't care about healthy eating at all and he doesn't know or care how to cook healthy food for himself. It doesn't make him unattractive to me because he is attractive in other ways but I really want to encourage him to live a healthier lifestyle because I really do want to spend the rest of my life with him, and I know I cannot find a better man than him. He is also going through a bit of a depression right now but even though I've explained to him many times that getting exercise, eating healthy and taking care of yourself makes you feel better, he doesn't care. What can I do to help encourage him to start exercising again?
