[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I kinda sympathized with you until I saw you had three kids under 4, with one only being 10 months old. Support her, love her, get her the childcare help she needs and she will lose that weight, because SHE will want to. If  you tell her she is fat she will resent you and rightfully so. Have some respect and patience, she just gave you three kids FFS. Pregnancies are exhausting and so is taking care of three children with very little help while she is also working. [/quote]

I was literally about to write the same thing. Three kids under 5?? Having kids that close together surely does a number on a woman’s body. If she added extra weight with each pregnancy.. there is your answer. And now she is utterly exhausted by working and taking care of three small children.

Hire the nanny to stick around on the weekend for a couple hours so your wife can get some time to herself- she’s probably so overwhelmed and exhausted that working out is the furthest thing from her mind. Tell her take some time to herself and go for walk outside. Sometimes that is all it takes to kickstart the idea of getting more exercise. She is probably also snacking on all the “kid” food that we tend to forget we even ate.. like extra chicken nuggets, fries here or there. It adds up.

Is she drinking? I mean frankly I’d probably be if I was her.. but anyway alcohol adds on so many extra calories.

OP you have to cut her some slack- she has put her body through the ringer carrying and delivering and now taking care of your three children. Unless you are willing to fork over major $$ for a personal trainer and dietician, I think you need to step back from this for while. [/quote]
