[quote=Anonymous]The sanctimony in this thread is out of control, even for a Monday morning on DCUM.

I have 2 kids under 3, and I'm slim - 5' 10" and 135. What do I do?  NOTHING.  I nurse, but that's about it.  Basically, I eat junk, never work out, and still have a fast metabolism.  The weight thing - particularly after pregnancy - is a crapshoot.  This endless need to equate pounds = morality is just so tiresome.  I have zero desire to wake up a 5 am to run.  I have even less desire to hear about how you wake up at 5 am to run, which is not only a topic that inevitably descends into sanctimony, but also is SO BORING... OP, if all the "good role model" PPs of this thread were at a cocktail party, I would much prefer hanging out with you!

OP, if I were you I would (1) tell my husband directly to cut it out and ask for an apology (2) if he does not/gets defensive, just say you are ruining my vacation and go do your own thing.  And then I would just do my best to enjoy myself, my funny kids, my baby who will not be a squishy baby much longer, a glass of red wine, a bowl of pasta.  It is ridiculous that you would let some pounds (and a jerk DH) rob you of this time of your life.  Until your youngest is at least 18 mos, I would just completely let it go.  Relaxing and enjoying real food and carving out some time for sleep and self-care is not only the best thing you can do for yourself and your kids, but also probably the best thing you can do for your health/weight anyway.
