[quote=Anonymous]I commend your partner for being honest with you.  It is most likely better for your health, isn't it?  40 pounds is not a little bit to lose, were you obese?  I think maybe he didn't frame it well.... you want to feel appreciated for all your great qualities- your successful career, as a good Mother, friend, etc. and you feel like he is instead focused only on this superficial physical quality.  Communication is so important in a relationship, have you tried talking to him about this and how you are feeling unappreciated for all the seemingly more important qualities you have? Losing weight and getting in shape takes time and effort, and if you are super busy with kids/home/career/community, it is an added burden to do it on a somewhat empty stomach and to exercise with already limited time.  Does he realize what he is asking of you?  Also, is this something you want for yourself, too, or is this entirely for him? Talk to him about all this so he sees your point of view before the resentment builds up too much and hurts your relationship.[/quote]
