Because it's only 10 pounds. 10 pounds is barely noticable on most men.

Maybe op's husband isn't most men and 10 pounds added on looks very unappealing. It happens.

My problem with this is that the OP seems to want the DH to be like here. Maybe he isn't into fitness big-time like her.

I like my husband fit too. Who doesn't? But they have a new baby and he has a stressful job with long hours. She needs to cut the guy some slack here and back off his nuts and let him regroup.

A better subject line would have been "how to tell DH that I'm a shallow self-absorbed twit...on the way to the gym".

Seriously. Give him a break. Your whole post sounds so smug and pleased with yourself. Blech.

OP, do you work or SAY?

I signed up my husband to the gym (without asking him first) and got him 10 sessions of personal training. He was mad at me at the beginning, but he now appreciates that.
