[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I might be your wife!

I just don't have the same self control or the same motivation I had when I was young.

So I don't like how I feel or look but in the moment I want candy or wine or a donut more than I care about my weight. Then 2 minutes after its done, I care more about my weight again![/quote] Me too! + 1000. That's how women work. We can't help it sometimes. You have to break the sugar habit for 2 weeks before you can say no to it. It's hard. Don't make it a big deal, just ask her to go for a bike ride, or for a walk. Make a healthy, low fat treat for her to try vs cookies etc. It is hard!!! Women are emotional eaters, and we have serious hormonal cravings. Seriously, 2 weeks before my period I want junk. The week of my period, I want junk. It's that 1 week after my period that I have will power and eat healthy. BUT I'm very active all the time. I would work on her activity level. Feels good to "burn off those 3 cookies".

Anything you do, don't play down her feeling frumpy. But don't agree with her either.  Make sure she knows that you love her, you want her happy and if that means losing weight then you support it.[/quote]

It's not how women work, it's how some people work. And avoid low-fat treats, low-fat is one of the biggest boondoggles ever perpetrated on the public. Have a small piece of dark chocolate with a dollop of natural peanut butter, or half an avocado sprinkled with salt. And before the keyboard fitness "experts" weight in on how I'm wrong, fat provides satiety which in the end means you end up eating/craving less (in general of course won't be true for everyone.)

"How women work?" The post prior to yours was full of stereotypes and bad science. Low fat isn't healthy. A nice snack with healthy fats is actually better for actually sating hunger.

Good post, immediate PP.[/quote]
