[quote=Anonymous]This is really coincidental, almost too coincidental but I promise it's true. Literally last night I was talking to my wife about this very issue from my past. I was married to a woman for ten years (married young, in my early 20s). In my late 20s I put on 40 pounds (no kidding, precisely 40 pounds) over about 3 years. It is a MASSIVE amount of weight to gain. Thinking back, I couldn't run, I got hot and tired very easily, I felt fatigued and kind of cloudy to the point I went to see if I had a thyroid problem.

The conversation with my current wife last night came after I pulled up some old pictures from that era of my life and I saw how absolutely terrible and unhealthy and sad I looked. But what REALLY upset me is that NOBODY TOLD ME. I guess my ex-wife and my friends were trying to be nice or maybe they were just so shocked they tiptoed around it. But I just can't believe nobody ever pulled me aside and was like, "dude, you have gained SO MUCH weight and you have to make some adjustments." I honestly think if you love somebody it's your responsibility to give them a wake up call that this is NOT okay! One day I just kind of woke up and realized, holy hell am I fat. Lost 40 pounds in six months just stop shoveling food and drink into my face.

Anyway long story short I think you owe it to your wife and yourself to seriously have an intervention on this. It's the right thing to do[/quote]
