Not attracted to husband

I'm not proud of my feelings but I'm just not as attracted to my husband since losing weight. Let me explain a little more before you classify me as shallow...

2 years ago it was his idea to get in better shape. I thought it was a good idea and wanted to be supportive so I did it too. I've stuck with it for the past 2 years and have lost 50 pounds, started to compete in cycling events, and have completely changed my approach to eating. He stuck with it for about 3 days and then went back to his old habits. He has gained about 30 pounds over the past 2 years.

My problem is that I'm just not as attracted to him physically anymore because he is very overweight. I'm also not attracted to him mentally because he isn't even trying and I'm frustrated with his lack of determination.

I don't know what to do. He won't eat the foods I eat (whole wheat pasta, vegetarian dishes, grilled chicken breasts etc...) and he doesn't exercise. Many people say to continue to be a good example and it will rub off on him...that's clearly not working for my husband. I don't pressure or nag him to eat right or exercise but I do try to include him and ask him if he wants to go to the gym.

I don't know what to do. I'm worried about his health and our marriage. Does anybody else have similiar feelings or have you tried something that worked with your family?
