Many people like this are mentally addicted to eating. I don't view it much differently that a gambling\drinking\happy pill problem.

It takes hard work and a lifestyle change to break out of this habit.

I just get tired of all the excuses. I recently put on about 8lbs in a month after getting down to a REALLY good weight. It was because I exercised a little less and over-indulged in beer, cookies, fast food etc. during a stretch that covered a vacation, my birthday etc. It's not a mystery...no one is some magical being that absorbs calories from the air around them.

Why are you so tough on people?

I occasionally over eat and put on some pounds. Then I go straight to working out again, sometimes if you "over train" you will burn calories days after you are done working out. That is the tip for the day, for chunky dudes.

Well, I would argue that if anybody's wife weighed 1,000 pounds, then the S/O just can't love him/her that much. For morbid obesity guarantees a much shorter lifespan through heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and other kinds of health problems--not to mention a greatly diminished enjoyment of life.

Hey, if I don't go to the doctor once a year, my wife hounds me until I do. Likewise, my wife would not sit back and watch me dig my grave with a knife and a fork. She loves me, therefore she wants me around a long time. And being in reasonable shape at a healthy weight is one of the key ways to do it.

Hey, I have a bucket full of excuses. Losing weight is kind of like quitting smoking in that you really have to want it bad to commit.

When I worked in restaurants and donut shops I could swear I absorbed calories from the grease and sugar by osmosis.

If my husband gained a lot I would try to help him. Not replace him. Divorce is just to easy to get now a day's. With that being said I also feel if someone is married and weight has became a problem that is a factor in the bed room then your spouse has waited to long to try to complain about it. Weight is not put on over a day or two.

By help him, do you mean purchase him a fork lift and a carton of doughnuts?

Please, for the love and sake of Boy George purchase your husband plenty of lycra shorts and tank tops. That will at least give the illusion that he is trying to lose weight.
