If you feel comfortable, that's all that matters

The wife is an adult. He can't do anything to make her eat differently but he has every right to decide what his child eats. He'll take a more active role in parenting her if he cares enough.

Excellent!

Calorie deficit.

Weight is the least meaningful metric.

Just tell her everything is bad for something.

When I first joined MFP I thought it meant If It Fits Your Mouth. Not kidding. Anyway, I don't live or die by my macros but I try to stay within 50gs of my macro goals, giving protein the priority and it really works for me.

Yeah. That's what it means.

You need to learn about yourself more and find out what your mental blocks are. For me it was not loving myself enough. While on one level I wanted to improve my body, fitness and health, because I didn't love myself I didn't work hard for it because I didn't think I was worth the effort. Figure out what it is that is…

It may be beneficial to seek the opinion of a health professional. I won't say you're unhealthy physically because I have no clue, but certainly your fixation is something to be concerned about.

I don't think it's terrible for two people in a long term relationship to point out areas the other may need to improve, nor do I think that is attempting to change them at the core of their being. I think that lifting weights teaches people a lot about themselves and through that process we improve things about ourselves…

You're right.

LOL. I've never brought it up before. I am not asking for tips on how to manipulate him. That's one vote for the direct approach. Thank you.

He doesn't work out in a regimented sense but he is active for fun. We go on bike rides, we go hiking, and swimming, he plays football, basketball and handball some weekends with friends and his brothers.

Aesthetics were the last thing I listed. I love the way he looks now. Is there room for improvement? Of course. I want him to lift with me for all the other things I listed and if it never changed how he looked, I'd be totally okay with that, however I would be lying if I ignored the fact that a better body composition is…

This... I could work with. But it feels kind of one sided. Those would be rewards for me as well.

I'd be happy to hear them and would work on them. I have. I respond very well to criticism and I've always addressed any issues he's pointed out to me. To name some: Taking out a bad work day on him or others Being inconsistent (see above-- worked on it) Being impatient (still working on it) Not talking over others during…

Strong 400th post. Hope your friends get a kick out of it.

Some people use this site merely for the social aspect. That type of usage often seems to bring out the worst in people, therefore it does not make them healthier.

What you really need to do is learn effective coping strategies so that you don't feed your feelings. Get some self help books or see a therapist. You can learn all about health and nutrition until you have a PhD but unless you learn something else to do to positively process your emotions, you will continue to over eat.

I think it's fine. But I have no friends on this site, so what do I know?

Rest, recovery, treatment. Do a work out that doesn't involve the injured part. Keep a closer eye on intake.

Who else wastes money on groceries they don't need or want, then continues to buy those same groceries? Not me.

Can't is often a lie we well ourselves when we don't want to be bothered to try harder.

I really hope you're not suggesting she eat 1000 calories a day. No. Just no. OP, work on learning to love yourself and not comparing yourself to others. If you don't love yourself first, you will never be happy with your body.

You were sick just last week. Don't obsess over the scale that much. Maybe weighing in just once a month would be healthier for you.

I've never understood people who act as if not logging it means it didn't happen. Welcome to the light. See the consequences of your choices and make new ones. Good luck.

This and I have no idea what your intake is like but if you're consuming too little protein or too little calories in general, your lifts will absolutely stall. Make sure you have a proper intake with relation to your goals.

1200 calores of steak or half a pizza pie

Love it
