[quote=Anonymous]You have to address it carefully. I say this because I’m the one who gained the weight due to a combo of medication, stress and environmental factors. I feel awful about myself and am well aware of the weight so DH commenting hasn’t been educational or felt like it came from a place of concern.  As a matter of fact it is frustrating because he is my biggest saboteur. I’m the only one who cooks. He won’t eat healthy. To address it, I used to make two dinners but I’m just too tired to do that all the time so mostly he gets what he wants. When I cook something healthy for all of us, he complains like a preschooler.  In addition whenever we do takeout and I suggest salads or Cava, he insists on something like wings, burgers or fried chicken sandwiches. I’d love for him to start eating healthier with me instead of suggesting tempting foods. That would really go a long way. So only bring it up if you feel you can be supportive, non-judgmental and are willing to make lifestyle changes too. [/quote]
