[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a guy I can’t imagine why I would need to bring this up?  Is she really less attractive? 
Passion for my wife runs a lot deeper than what a scale says.  [/quote]

Both quotes are likely written by women - try persuade yourself that’s true. Life will show you it’s not. Spouses are only happy  if both are overweight but not when one person is into workouts and health and the other eats bags of chips. These are not compatible [/quote]

I am the poster that says passion for my wife runs a lot deeper than what a scale says.  I am a guy 6’4” 245 and hover around 10-15% body fat.  I workout in some form 5-6 days a week. My wife is 5’3”  was 125-130 when we we met.  She is currently 155-165, and at one point she was over 200lbs.  Not for 1 sec has my desire for her ever dipped.  She is a beautiful woman.  I just want her to be healthy and comfortable that number isn’t for me to decide.   So “These” are compatible.[/quote]

What you wrote just proves my point. You have 29 BMI overweight ; your wife 28.4 also overweight (was obese when over 200). People tend to find attractive what’s close by looks to themselves

I don’t think if you were 6’4 180lbs you would find a 200lbs woman anywhere near attractive

Yea, I am obese with 14% body fat.  [/quote]

NP. pp, I don’t know if you’re new here but people will accuse you of lying if you love your spouse or are happy with any aspect of yourself. I think you both sound healthy, and that’s coming from a very slim woman (that also gets told her 18.5 BMI is “ridiculously unhealthy” on these boards).

OP, I’d frame it in terms of health but I bet she knows. Just be supportive. [/quote]
