Is your spouce skinnier then you?

I wouldn't call my boyfriend skinny, because he's very muscular, but he is much much thinner than I am, very toned, and he works very little to achieve and maintain a sexy physique. It drives me crazy because as supportive as he is, he's still gonna eat what he wants and not gain a pound or an inch while I'm over here living off water and leaves trying to lose a million pounds lol. You're good girl, keep on keepin' on

Well I'm pretty skinny.. but the boytoy is very skinny... not to mention he eats crap food and eats it OFTEN. Lucky a$s... :grumble:

mine used to be. when we got married he weighed 118# (5'9.5") I was 125#. (5'6.5") -- that was 22 yrs ago.

now we are about the same weight (135#), but he is 2 inches shorter. (so we are just 1" apart now)
his arms and legs are skinnier than me, but his belly is getting pudgy.

Yep, when we got married I could wear his pants (he has broad shoulders, narrow waist ooooo la la!). Not so much anymore. He LOVES junk food. Trying to keep pace with his metabolism has been a huge disaster. I've learned I really have to watch my portions. I can have ice cream, there is just NO WAY I can sit and share a whole carton on the couch anymore.

He tries really hard to be supportive these days, which is a big change from before where he would actively sabotage me with my favorite foods.

All I can think is don't worry about it. Think about being the best you, and don't consider this "trouble".
He eats as many calories as he burns, simple as that. You can do the same:)

Nope, he's always been heavier than I've been and that's the way I like it!
edited to say: except for when I was pregnant. Heehee!

Yup. he eats and eats and eats and drinks like crazy but doesn't get any fatter. I eat half what he does and I gain. It's terrible.

Yes! By like 50 pounds.
Years of unhealthy eating and his age are starting to catch up with him though. ;-)
He's in the military so he has to work out a lot...and he's been struggling the past couple years to meet waist requirements. I was mean and always gave him his favorite foods...but ever since I started getting healthier he has been too. I finally had to learn that my metabolism cannot keep up with his. Oi!

im the exact same. Theres nothing much to be done, if he gets junk food for dinner i do to about half the time i just make sure to work it into my calories. He has gained some weight but i still consider him skinny, i have talked to him so many times about how him eating junk food infront of me makes my diet so much harder but his change in diet lasts only a few days at a time. I think it is hard for him also because when we first started going out and even before i gained all this weight we would eat out all the time, the reason i didnt get fat like that is because i would just have the one large meal for dinner and that is all i would eat for the entire day. Now if i know we are going to be hanging out i try to eat as healthy as possible beforehand and if he is eating something really tantalizing and i dont have calories or am trying to be good i have him eat it in the other room.

I hope not.
He's 6'5".
I weigh 116#.
That would just be wrong...

BOOKSANDBEACH - I am so happy for you that your honey is supporting you and is trying his best to keep craved foods out of sight as to be out of mind. NOW can your hubby give my hubby a lesson!!

I'm the same, my husband is skinnier than me. And he loses weight easily without trying!

This. Not skinnier. But his weight comes off more easily and he loses weight even when he eats junk and doesn't work out. :sad: :sad:

My fiance is my goal weight! It drives me crazy! I have to make sure he eats /enough/ every day or he will drop weight quickly. I guess all the running he used to do paid off in the form of a high metabolism? hmm...

My ex was wayyyy skinnier than me. Lol I always felt like I was going to break him! It bothered me but he didn't mind. He said he liked my body. Now my current boyfriend is average. He's not skinnier. He's pretty fit. Works out a lot.
