[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think the issue is just weight, which is what everyone is focusing on. I have a friend who comes to mind who is much curvier in her 40s after a couple kids than she was in her 20s

But she also has the money now to have a fantastic wardrobe. Every time I see her, her outfit is amazing. Even casual stuff just seems tailored to her well. She has perfect hair and a pretty face. She’s a very active and social person. Been with her husband since early 20s and they still seem very happy together.

So even though she has gained weight, she hasn’t let herself go. She’s not just a frump. Seeing her look great gives me motivation to want to find nice clothes too. It feels good to look put together (even in casual WAH outfits).

I do light Botox, have fresh balayage every few months, and wear light makeup for myself. My DH makes comments about how I look so great even after 3 kids. But I have a really flexible low stress job as does my friend who has time to manage self care. There are only so many hours in the day, and you can only outsource so much around the house.

Maybe OP’s wife is in too stressful of a job (since he mentioned a full time nanny and cleaner) to have time to take care of herself.[/quote]

This is so on point.  I couldn’t even lose weight until I started dressing nicer and doing more self care.  These things all go together.[/quote]
