bad eating habits
i've been dating this guy for a year. one thing that always gets to me is the way he eats, and i don't mean noisy chewing.
often he'll do things like skipping dinner only to snack on chips and stuff late at night, barely eat any fruits & veggies, buy a hamburger and fries at the school cafeteria whenever he eats there, etc. the other night, for example, he skipped dinner, then made chicken wings and leftover pork at 10:30.
i guess a lot of this stuff is normal teenage habits. i myself don't always eat well, and i know it's tempting to eat junk when you have access to it. but watching him upsets me because he'll get stomach pains and things like that, but won't change his ways. then i'll be like 'you know you shouldn't do that' or 'try bringing a sandwich instead of buying a hotdog', but i feel like i'm nagging, and i know it can make him feel like i'm putting him down.
what's a good way to deal with this? i know it's his issue and he has to be the one to motivate himself to stop bingeing on chocolate milk or whatever, but i'm someone who says what they think and doesn't like to stand by and watch people eat their body weight in doritos.

A LOT of guys eat like that...
I think if it really worries you, you should NOT say anything in public, but tell him you need to have a private conversation later, and tell him calmly that you're worried about him.
CALMLY state your worries, and make sure you make it clear that you're worried about his health, not his weight.

I have really good eating habits, but my boyfriend always nags at me because he says I don't get enough exercise. I am pregnant, and I don't think he understands that exercising is not as easy when you're carrying a baby. Anyway, I walk the track and occasionally run to make him happy. It does sometimes hurt my feelings, though, so try to be as nice about telling him as you can. Make sure he understands that you're ultimately worried about his health, because he may take it to offense that you don't like the way he looks.
