[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DDis a SAHM with two sweet little boys and a husband who has provided everything, home, clubs, cruises, cars etc. She has gone from size 0 to 18 in seven years and has a prickly personality that cost her several jobs. She objects to any hint their marriage may be affected by her weight. He won't level with her but is clearly withdrawing (he used t post pix of them together, no more). Anything I say just seems to make her eating worse. Any suggestions?[/quote]

Has husband told her that her weight is affected my their marriage?  Whether he has or hasnt, it's THEIR business. Big mistake to make it yours.

My father's been dead a couple of years, but I stopped speaking to him four years before that after he offered me money, in front of my husband, to lose weight. And no, I still don't regret that decision. It was just a few months after I'd had a a baby at 40 and I think I screamed something by about that, but I don't remember.

If you want to help, have a conversation about what she needs. Let her tell you. Start with babysitting her kids (or paying for one) while she takes some time for herself to don't whatever she wants.  But don't in any way hint, probe or push weight loss on her as something that's ruining her life. You will ruin your relationship with her, I promise. [/quote]
