[quote=Anonymous]The reality is that being overweight/obese is frowned on by society. It affects job prospects, chances for promotion, how people interact with you socially, relationships with a spouse, etc.

In most instances people don't comment about it in front of the overweight person but they do say so behind their backs. If you don't think this is the case you are living in a fantasy land.

OP called out her husband for drinking too much and not having control over his behavior and her husband retaliated by telling OP she was overweight. Her husband said what he was likely thinking without voicing it in the past and the probability is that others view OP the same way.

To the PPs' who are castigating her husband, get a life ...... you are projecting like crazy because it is likely that some of you are overweight and see yourself in OP's position. The answer is not to get upset at people who point this out directly or talk about it behind your back. What you need to do is to focus on losing weight.

If you are markedly overweight, people are talking about it behind your back. When you get on a plane and are heading for your allotted seat, other passengers are likely thinking to themselves that they hope he/she is not going to be seated next to them and they breathe a sigh of relief when you go past them.

OP, you recognize that something needs to be done with regard to your weight although it may have come about in less than desirable circumstances. The 30 pounds you need to lose is very doable and I encourage you to focus on that aspect and ignore the PPs' whose entire wrath is directed at your husband for telling you what you know.[/quote]
