overweight teen

Question

Been raising my kids with Mr. Rosemond for 18 years. We are a family of 5 (18yo, 14yo, 12yo). Our problem is with our 18 yo. He has always struggled with weight. He is now 6' and weighs 300lbs. He dropped out of sports as a freshman and has no desire to be physically active. He is an excellent student and very involved in church and various social clubs at school. He's a wonderful role model for younger kids as well as his younger brother and sister (he's very involved in YOUNGLIFE). But we cannot get it through to him, how important it is to stay in good physical condition for his health as well as its hard to fit him in clothes! My husband and I are college educated and the other four of us are all very physically active. He's been in counseling, done weight watchers, nutrisystem, but the bottom line is, he HATES excercise and resents us for bugging him about good eating habits and getting exercise. We're at the point now where we are just hoping as he matures, he'll finally catch on to what we're talking about and start to take better care of himself. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated.
