To the last three posters, I'm sorry you think it's wrong of me to think he's obese. But it's not a subjective call. These are technical terms with real definitions, and the weight he is technically makes him obese. It's not my call or yours, it's simply the facts.
To the rest of you, thanks so much. I'm really torn between the advice of rscrvc and of CityGirlInTheCountry. Both sound like they make so much sense to me, and I don't know what's right. rscrvc, yes, my husband knows that diabetes is an immediate risk for him, since others in his family have Type II diabetes brought on by their excess weight. This runs in his family, as does heart disease and high blood pressure.
