[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm willing to bet there is more snacking going on while your DW is at work than just the daily ice cream run and an unhealthy lunch.  Maybe she's stressed at work, maybe she feels under scrutiny at home for what she eats so she eats a lot of unhealthy food during the day.  Her hormones are still adjusting, and that coupled with any kind of stress might make her vulnerable to comfort/stress eating. She may also just be too damn tired to give much thought about what to eat during the day.  Also keep in mind that not getting enough sleep and stress further affects hormones and can cause some people to crave carbs, fatty foods or sweets.

While a homemade lunch packed by her DH sounds like it would be perfect solution, maybe what you are packing just doesn't sound very good when the time comes to eat it.  Figure out what she likes to eat and pack a healthier version of that in her lunch.   And if she likes sweets, find some recipes for healthier versions to make at home and be sure to pack a bite or two in her lunch.  Maybe she won't want to go on her ice cream run (or eat other unhealthy snacks) if she's satisfying her sweet tooth in other (healthier) ways.

I also agree with PPs who said you should find some way to encourage her to be more active, either by herself or as a family, whatever her preference is.  No, it won't solve the problem 100%, but maybe she'll be more open to making healthier food choices if she's doing other healthy things and otherwise feeling good about herself.

Good luck.[/quote]
