My wife is overweight, 14st, and is not getting any slimmer. She tries to diet every now and again but gives up very quickly. Is it normal that I can't bring myself to tell her that she is fat and needs to seriously lose weight to the point that I am getting put off by her figure?
Any help people on how to get her to try harder?
Please don't tell her that she's not attractive any more. Trust me, she remembers how she used to look. The fact that she tries to diet is proof that she's trying to change. You, her husband are the best person to help her stay motivated.
Maybe you could tell her that you'd like to eat healthier. Ask her if she could try to buy and prepare better foods (assuming that she does the grocery shopping). If you make it more about you changing, instead of her, she will likely change too. Let it be something that you do together. Ask her if she will walk with you after dinner or something. Do it together and it will get done :-)
Good Luck!
Both of u should exercise together and eat healthy .u married for better or for worse.Be the husband ur suppose to be.
maybe you should try to talk to her about her health in general. you dont have to use the words fat. perhaps you could just talk about making healthier lifestyle choices and about the risks of heart disease and high cholesterol from the food choices she is making. Also if you say it as if you want to eat healthier also it wont seem like you are attacking her for her weight.
People need motivation so you cant expect her to loose weight if your eating like crazy too. Diet and exercise with her. Its like a person whos an alcoholic. You cant expect em to quit if their around other drunkies.
Tell her frankly that you don't find her as attractive as before and that you are ready to make your own changes too.
