[quote=Anonymous]If she loses it for you, she’ll resent you. She has to want it for herself.

Losing weight is generally much harder for women than men. My DH can not change his diet at all, but run 2 miles a day, and lose 15 lbs. I can’t. Exercise makes me feel good but dietary changes are what make me lose weight. DH doesn’t really understand this and wants to go out to eat, share ice cream or a bottle of wine, etc.

It’s also harder for women as they age and approach menopause. If your kids are 7 or 8 or older, and your wife was over 30 when she had them, she’s probably entering this time when it gets harder due to hormones. This happens even to many women who don’t have kids. It may be much more work than you realize. Also, she might be trying and you don’t know. If she thinks you’ll be critical or judgmental, she may not share with you from fear of ridicule or anger if she fails.

I think the real question is, is she happy. If she is, no amount of nagging from you will make her want to lose weight; but it sure could drive her away. I wouldn’t stay married to a man who criticized me. Maybe that’s your end goal so you can go sleep with a 20 year old with a tight body, but if so, own it.
