[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, and I appreciate the comments. On some level I wish being thin was more important to me, but it just isn’t. I have a demanding job that is rewarding (and I love). My children play travel sports so we are frequently traveling. I know how to make good food choices, it just isn’t easy with our lifestyle and I’m not really motivated to do so. I still like and enjoy some unhealthy food.

Regarding health, many women in my family are overweight. My grandmother was over 300 and she lived to 93. She was active, traveled, and her weight didn't seem to hold her back.  Maybe this is why I don’t feel a health need to lose weight. It feels like more of an aesthetic issue.

DH is kind and doesn’t shame me for my weight. He is very fit and runs/lifts almost daily. We still exercise together and have an active lifestyle. He doesn’t seem to like that my weight also affects what I wear. But I’m 50, and I have no interest in dressing sexy at my age. If I were to lose weight, it would be to look better for him. I’m not internally motivated to try to be hot over 50. [/quote]

If he runs and lifts daily, your weight bothers him a lot more than he's letting on.  You should never be complacent in your marriage.  Cheaters don't weigh the consequences before cheating -- they think with another head.  Gaining 50 pounds is a bait and switch.[/quote]

I can show you a gazillion guys who lift and run who are fat AF.[/quote]
