[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your post makes me sad.

I would be hurt and resentful if I were you also.

I suggest marriage counseling because it seems like you are feeling like your commitment to each other is not balanced.

Good luck.[/quote]

OP here.  This is true.

I’m not even sure what the end goal of counseling would be.  Do I want to be less committed to my marriage and family?  Do I want him to be more committed?  Will the weight loss help with that?

I’m afraid that if I don’t lose the weight, then he will see me as not only fat, but also weak and unmotivated.  [/quote]

Is he super fit or something? 
Is exercise and looks a big part of his life?

Honestly, I’d be pissed if my husband asked me to lose weight and he wasn’t fit.

He is one of those people that is sort of naturally fit and muscular.  One of our sons is like this too, and I know for sure that he doesn’t do anything, so I’m pretty sure that it’s genetic.  
DH does what most of us do.  He tries to eat healthy most of the time, but not always.  He goes through spurts where he works out a few times a week for a few months and then stops for a few months.  This leaves him pretty slim.
