Felllas, how do you deal with your S.O. gaining weight?

make lemonade OP . . . pop this dvd into the player and make a romantic evening of it

 

The Mrs and I both got fatter and honestly didn't even realize it. Then one day a friend I hadn't seen in 2-3 years was like "Woah Haymitch, you're fat now!" I dismissed it as him busting my balls, but it planted a seed. Several months later, after my dumbass self realized that my wife wasn't somehow just shrinking the waist of the pants without shrinking its length in the laundry, finally, I realized I had indeed gotten fat.

I include all that to say that it's possible your spouse doesn't even realize what's going on. Sometimes we just don't see it - my wife and I sure didn't. Also, around the time I got fattest, I was constantly around obese people (at work) so compared to them I was still looking ok.

Once it finally dawned on me that I was just getting fatter and fatter, I had to learn about proper nutrition and diet. This is what mainly did the trick for me - intermittent fasting and keeping carbs to a bare minimum. I was also walking a lot. That helped, too.

Anyway, as the pounds began to pour off, the Mrs took note. She joined a workout group.* Also, since I'm the person who does the grocery shopping and cooking, we now only had healthy food in the house. The pounds started to come off of her, too.

Nowadays we're in much better shape. Not to say that there aren't upward fluctuations around the end of year holidays, but we are at least now aware of them as well as aware that we'll have to go extra hard to make up for it.

So in this overly long story that no one wanted to read and I probably will regret posting, I just want to get across that 1) she might not be aware of her weight gain, and 2) showing an example by improving yourself, and taking over the grocery and cooking, could awaken her to reality.

*If you're in Harris County, there are community centers all over that hold free workout classes M-F. Check it out online. The one near us does pilates, yoga, and an aerobics class, but most of them have a bigger variety.

 

LMAO... man

 

According to The Guardian, "if you hated PE at school or worry that your local gym will be full of ’roid rage, this [show] might be just the thing to nudge you into picking up a barbell for the first time."

 

Mexican Ephedra?

 

she's thick not fat. fat is back rolls and a gut. and those flabby things under the arms.

 

She's fat and uses lots of filters.

 

Find things in common you both like to do that are healthy and feel good. It can be small things like cycling in the park or trail together, water sports like swimming, kayaking, or jet skis in the summer and even walking dogs is better than nothing. If it can be social with a good community that can help, aerobics classes, healthy cooking classes with good food, etc.

 

OP needs an attitude adjustment . . . here's how you should be treating your lady right

 

The deeper the cushion the sweeter the pushen. Or so I have read..

 

You know how I love pushin that cushin…

 

There's a point where the cushion gets so thick that all you're pushin' is the cushion. Or so I've heard, from a friend, for science reasons...

 

A woman gradually gaining weight is like a man gradually paying less bills

 

Love my wife exactly as she is. We're both fat. But working on it together. Some of the posts in this thread smfh.

 

You come around here
With your fancy hair and your diamond ring
But you don't know what it means to have fun
All you do is push the cushion, my inflatable thing

Chorus:
All you're pushin' is my cushion
While I'm tryna have a good time
You think you're the life of the party
But really, you're just a party crime

Verse 2:
You think you've got it made
With your perfect hair and your flashy grin
But you don't know how to party
All you do is push my cushion, my pool float, my friend

Chorus:
All you're pushin' is my cushion
While I'm tryna have a good time
You think you're the life of the party
But really, you're just a party crime

Bridge:
It's time to wake up and see
That fun is more than just a status thing
Get out there and let loose
And stop pushin' my cushion, my inflatable ring

Chorus:
All you're pushin' is my cushion
While I'm tryna have a good time
You think you're the life of the party
But really, you're just a party crime

Outro:
Don't be a buzzkill, my friend
Let's party 'til the very end
So stop pushin' my cushion, my inflatable thing
Your fat ass is stunning, the most amazing bling

 

You slap that ass and ride the wave in.

 

MRW chatGPT is a better SO than all of us...
