    Hello - looking for some help and support. My wife and I have both been losing a lot of weight recently and have been pretty successful counting calories.

    I've noticed that she's been getting a lot more "male" attention and it's starting to make me uncomfortable. I'm not the jealous type but does anyone have suggestions for how I can sabotage her weight loss? Like, change the settings on the food scale, or ?

    Sounds like a self-esteem issue. Yours!

    You know, when my husband starts to weigh less than me, I break out the heart-shaped chocolate boxes. Nothing says "I'm better than you" like watching the spiral of self-doubt that comes from 2 lbs of truffles.

    Really warms the cockles of your heart.

    No vulgarity please.

    Clearly you just need to get strong enough that you can challenge these wife-oogling gents to a duel. Does your state allow mutual combat? Plus these duels will be an excellent way for you to incorporate a little more cardio into your routine.

    first off, you really need to get some control over your castle there, bub. why are you allowing your wife to walk outside alone in the first place? the house don't get spic and span by itself. she needs to be home. i get that she has to use some of the allowance you give her to go grocery shopping, but if you tell her she has to go in the late morning/early afternoon, she won't get any male attention because all the men will be at work.

    secondly, it's "loosing weight" not "losing weight". get your grammer together, chief.

    I kinda agree with this. What I have done is get one of those ankle bracelets that stuns them if they try to leave the kitchen during certain hours of the day.

    You could try the inverse of how I got fat. Every time I had sex with my buddies wife she gave me a cookie.

    Ahh, I'd give more detail but, it's time for a cookie break.

    Sorry. I just meant it gives me a lady boner to know that he's weaker than me.

    I'm with you 100% OP.

    My wife lost weight and now she's dating a guy 10 years younger (19!)

    I liked the food scale idea.

    I would also start switching the low fat milk for the whole fat milk. You have to do this slowly so she doesn't notice the full fat goodness of the milk. I learned that the hard way.

    Add bacon bits and avocado to your salads.

    Make really negative remarks when she tries on clothing.

    Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Might I suggest the 1-lb. Reese's PB Heart? And if you're cheap, just wait until the day after and stock up at the "Oh baby, I'm SO SORRY" clearance sales.

    Valentine's Day is a perfect opportunity to do this right! A huge box of chocolates and a French dinner would be a great kick off to your sabotage! You can wrap it all up with love and spoon feed her an eclair to top it off.

    Have her make friends with Acg. Ultimate sabotage right there. :grumble:

    Excellent advice. Cloak all of your nefarious motives in romance. If you feed her high-fat foods while giving her roses, she will never notice.

    Sounds like you have reason to fear the male attention she's getting. Lacking, eh?

    I'm really sorry that your wife has been so insensitive. You could really use a hug.

    Maybe you can talk her into cutting her calories so low that she goes into starvation mode.

    She'll gain a ton.

    This is REALLY helpful. Thank you. I hadn't considered the negative remarks but I'm usually really supportive so I'm worried about her figuring it out if my behaviors change. But the idea of switching out full fat stuff for the 'guilt free' seems like a really great way to go.

    Also, both "Wenchilada" and "Sunsntatheart" or whatever both saw the most obvious solution. Duh, Valentines. Get points AND get ahead.

    YOU DID NOT TELL ME YOU WERE MARRIED.

    Please delete the photos I sent you. I respect marriage and the right to sabotage that all partners enjoy.

    Do you mean that this excites you? I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.

    Yikes I thought this was a joke. :(

    The issue is within yourself and if she is flirting back then you have some major issues and whether or not she is fat or skinjny there is trouble.

    Convert to Islam, make her wear the full body burqa, and have her walk three steps behind you.

    Or get over yourself. She is more likely to leave you because of your attitude than her weight loss.

    Don't sabotage her food. You need to sabotage her eating.

    The way you do that is to belittle her gains. Mock her body shape. Make her feel like she's really not accomplishing enough and you are disgusted with her minimal gains. Tell her she's fat and criticize when she eats anything with a hint of fat in it.

    That sounds counter productive, but trust me, she'll rapidly become resentful and will stop eating well out of spite. It will also lower her self esteem and she'll avoid situations where she could get compliments from other men, and finally, it will make her more dependent upon you.

    If that fails, there's always gaslighting.

    I'm not sure if this whole thread is a joke or not but it's amusing.

    For the record it is 'losing' weight as in you lose weight, you don't loose it. Also to double the irony you started the next sentence without a capital G. To add to the irony a final correction, it is spelt 'grammar' not 'grammer'.

    I could have made myself look incredibly stupid here if the comment is intentionally ironic, but that would only add to the hilarious-ness.

    I think you're being REALLY unsupportive of the OP

    He's clearly trying to save his marriage.

    What's more important? That his wife looks good or that they stay happily married?
