his hair loss is beyond human control, but you at fat by choice.
Completely different.

Disagree on both counts.

Husband could have surgery, wear a toupee, use Rogaine.
Unless wife sat down and deliberately force fed herself, she did not become fat "by choice." No one plans to gain 30 pounds unless they are an actor in a movie.

Wrong wrong wrong. Rogaine doesn't work and toupees look ridiculous.

Weight gain is a choice for the MAJORITY of people. Americans eat such crappy food they think it's inevitable to look like a whale in your 30s.

Let me explain this to you
There is no action that he has taken to cause his hair loss.
There is no action he could take to prevent his hair loss (rogaine is not always effective).
Now if the wife is unhappy about it, she could go to him and request that he get surgery/wear a toupee/try rogaine.
If he values her attraction to his "full head of lustrous hair" then he would be wise to consider these ideas.

Entirely different from weight gain.
Fatness is 100% directly caused by the actions of the fat person.
And weight loss is 100% directly caused by their actions too.
There is a 100% effective way to loose weight.
The choice to be fat may not be intentional but it absolutely is a free choice.

I remarried years later to a woman who is also very fitness minded and health conscious. We've been together 15 years now and I still enjoy seeing her climb into bed with me in her underwear.

No one asked about your cross-dressing, bro.

I only wear it for comfort!

Next question: would you run if you had a child with severe special needs? If it's a dealbreaker, find out now. You should know how much character your future spouse has.

Comparing an obese adult to a child with severe special needs now? Are you kidding me... Fatty should stop eating too much crap and exercise. Easy cure except most only make excuses and keep eating.

I think it's creepy that your brother is fixated on his female cousin's body and her relationship with her husband.

I think my wife was hotter at 165-170 than at her current 140. She was 125 when we met. Heaviest was 200 after DS was born.

Well, the question is why did your cousin let herself go? Kids, emotional eater, too busy of a career?

And guys/husbands also tend to pack on the pounds. Some men have big bowling ball stomachs that if I didn't bettet, would've thought they were preg.

In high school she was around 160 lbs. In her mid to late 20's she got really really thin, around 120lbs. She met a guy who she ended up marrying. He only ever knew her when she was thin. She immediately gained 30 lbs after the wedding. Since then, she has gained weight ongoing and now after ten years is around 220lbs.

My brother said this was " false advertising" and he felt bad for her husband. Saying, the husband married a thin woman and now he is stuck. Yes, my brother is a jerk. But do you agree with his point?

Is 5 ft 8 in @ 160 really considered chubby? I thought that was in the normal range?

+1 seems not excessive to me either.

160 is excessive compared to the 120 pound woman that he was attracted to
yes, I agree with his point about false advertising.
But no, he is not stuck. He can ask her to lose the weight. If she doesn't want to, he can leave.

What is the 100% effective way to lose weight? Every single weight loss study I have ever read has a weight loss of something like 15 lbs over the course of several months and most participants gain it all back. In fact, most of these studies are worthless because those 15lbs are actually the last observation carried forward from people who dropped out of the study.

If people can't actually do whatever you are spouting as 100% effective, then it isn't really effective at all, and it is certainly not a "free choice."

LOL!

I broke my end of that deal when my first grey pube sprouted.

My husband married me when I wasn't pregnant and now I'm knocked up. Even worse false advertising! He should definitely ask for a refund.

Ah, not quite the same since he was presumanly a participant in both the decision to, and the act of, knocking you up.

I think most sane people would agree that gaining 100 pounds is excessive.

If you feel compelled to argue this point, you are probably being defensive due to your own weight issues.

Calorie deficit is 100% effective for weight loss.
Overweight people are generally undisciplined and not honest with themselves about how many calories they eat.
This is however their free choice.

You are a very ignorant and not well educated person when it comes to the complexity of metabolism.
