"Honey I got you a present..... It is a year long Jenny Craig membership!!!" Then run. Seriously tho. If you cant talk about it honestly. You may be cruisin for a breakup. I find it is best to use the band-aid method. Communicate it " quickly and effectively" and drop it, If she will not fix it, Bail. |
Now I really laughed out loud

What a dilemna, there really isn't any way to come out on top of this without hurting her feelings somehow. Yes, she already knows. But, if you bring it up or say anything about it, she will feel twice as bad. Only thing that is going to change her is her own free will to improve her health for herself. My only suggestion would be to start doing the shopping and only buy the good stuff. No potato chips, etc. Good luck, bro. |
Its posts JUST LIKE THIS that remind me why I see so many "Getting a divorce" threads on Arfcom. If you cant overlook the fact your girl put on a few pounds........ |
40lbs is not "a few pounds." It's moved beyond an "attractiveness" problem into the realm of "health problem." Anyone who won't take care of himself/herself physically is bound to have OTHER problems that you won't like. |

Tell her you want to go on a diet to lose a few pounds but it would be easier if you didnt do it alone. You can even suggest that if she's eating the bad stuff that she does it somewhere you dont watch. It'll make her think about joining in on the "fun" of the diet. My wife and I both lost 40lbs about 2 years ago doing that. ( we both gained back 40 too!) |
