mine, and it is very hard to bring up eating healthier and exercising.. don't want her to think i do not love her the way she is, but she does need to be healthier.... any tips from the ladies (or men who have done it) on how to get a wife on board?
After watching me struggle with my weight for most of our marriage, he couldn't keep his mouth shut (he doesnt do that well anyway...). What he actually said was "You have succeeded at everything you have tried since I've known you, why is this one thing so difficult for you? What is holding you back? What can I do to help?" Your wife may cry, but the tears were worth it. He also got me a trainer for a couple sessions to help "jump start my exercise" after I had my second child. Good luck!:flowerforyou:0 -
I make my husband keep his sodas, candies and chips in the car he drives so I don't even have to see it. He will eat what i make him for dinner but constantly goes to wendy's during his graveyard shifts and eats cereal for any meal I don't cook! It's hard to be healthy when your spouse weighs 155 lbs no matter what he does. Exercise? pfft, yeah right!!!0

I've watched my husband eat a whole box of Hostess cupcakes without flinching...and no matter what he wolfs down, he stays fit and trim. High metabolism I guess...
It's not so bad to watch him enjoy the copious amounts of junk food, it just sucks that he's always trying to get me to partake. "Come on, it's just a bite!" he'll say...
Glad I have the will-power of a monk!! :laugh:
Ahh you are a monk! Most times I can't resist if my bfs eating something I love right in front of me.
Thank god we don't live together yet o_o
Lol! Just make sure that, when you guys DO move in together, YOU do all the grocery shopping :laugh:0 -
That's not very nice ;( I hope she's not being serious!!0

YES!! As a matter fact this weekend I overheard him telling someone..."Yeah I have lost some but I'm not really watching what I eat...just how much, I don't have to watch what I eat, I can eat what I want and I have been going to the gym some."
What a turd!! I wanted to punch him in the nose!! lol0 -
dam them... he eats whatever he wants does NOT exercise and somehow is muscular and small and fit and sexy :-/ I am confused0

My husband is in the Army and works out for 90 minutes a day... Plus he rides his bike to and from work (16 miles each way) so he has to eat at least 4000-5000 calories just to maintain his weight! I'm super jealous that he can eat whatever he eats... But not jealous that he rides over 30 miles on his bike each day plus his normal PT workouts!!0

yep. I always think it must be so freeing to be like him, he told me he never once in his life has thought about what is in food or calories, he just eats whatever sounds good to him. And, our whole relationship (20 years) I have gained and he has stayed the same all while eating fast food every single day. He works out of town mostly and doesn't have to hear me complain too much about his ff habit, but when he is home he complains why do we have to have all this stuff (ground turkey, non-fat milk, chicken) can't we just have normal food. And, no matter what we eat for a meal (even at someone else's house so it is not my cooking) he has to go out to fast food about an hour afterwards.

yeah mine is a tow truck driver and is moving constantly and moving cars and all sorts of things. im a little jelouse of my hubby for being able to eat everything but i make my food so its healthy, filling and super yummy it doesnt even taste like im eating healthy.lol. i have done it for 26 days and i can keep going. we all are doing great and sometimes i will fit in a small treat in my calories so i dont break my diet and just start binging again. it s not worth it to me so i so it in moderation and it works.0

My husband eats whatever he wants and I don't mind at all. I'm not on a super restrictive diet though so maybe that's why it doesn't bother me. We eat the same things but I just control my portions a little better now.0

my bf can eat whatever he wants but he doesnt... lol thank GOD bc it wld be so hard for me to have dropped this weight.0

Yes! It sucks! N he's 6'4" 175 lbs n couldn't gain weight if he had to.0

Well, my husband is 6'185lbs and burns about 5000 calories/day. So he can eat a lot of food but he makes sure he hits his macros so he's not just eating whatever he wants. However, when you have that many calories a day to work with, you can eat a pint of Ben and Jerry's and have some calories for cheetos (what he's eating tonight - I'm only having the ice cream).0
