[quote=Anonymous]I'm in a similar position, and I found that my DH will do about 50% of what I do. If I'm really strict about diet and exercise, he'll also start to watch what he eats. If I start to slack, he does, too. So I have to be extremely strict with myself, never eat junk, and exercise daily to get him to do just enough dieting and exercise to lose weight. Encouragement and suggestion aren't enough, I have to actually *do* something to get him to follow along.

I also do all the grocery shopping and cooking to make sure we're eating healthy. If DH is in charge of any meals he'll just get fast food. So I make all three meals and snacks, and don't buy any junk for the house. I know once in awhile he'll go buy junk food for himself, but he eats way less than if it was just sitting around. Some people also need basic nutritional education; my DH thought it was okay to pile up salads with bacon bits, croutons, cheese, and dressing because it's still "salad". I had to teach him how to track calories and make better choices.

You'll probably have to pick up more work around the house to help her eat right and give her time to go to the gym. Everything takes a lot of work and planning in advance but it's worth it to have a spouse that's nice to look at! [/quote]
