[quote=Anonymous]Thank you for all the advice, everyone! This has been super helpful.

Luckily he isn’t really a snacker or nighttime eater, and we don’t really have junk food in the house. He’s not someone who eats super unhealthy foods.

To be honest with you, I think he’s just someone who has a really bad metabolism. In the past, when he’s lost a lot of weight and kept it off for a little while, it’s been with intense exercise (like 6-mile runs 6 days a week).

This latest weight gain came in part because he stopped exercising when we had our daughter and then injured himself twice when he tried to start back up with running. He has a long history of being a solid runner, so it’s his go to exercise, and now I think he’s scared to start again, for fear of hurting himself again.

I’ve encouraged him to see a physical trainer, but I think he’s embarrassed. Instead, he’s been going on very long power walks. I know that’s not enough, but I think we’re going to have to take this whole thing one step at a time. [/quote]
