[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weight gain is complex and yes linked to hormones. The more overweight you are, the more your hormones work against losing weight. We live in a world of giant portions, drive thru style eating, sugar in everything and for many, high stress with low satisfaction in life. All of this leads to the growing obesity issue.

This does not mean it's OP,s fault or responsibility to fix. He can support his wife's decision to lose weight, which takes a lot of work, but no amount of taking on more chores or  look g healthy food will help unless she is committed to losing weight and educated about changing habits. That's when his suppoo and encouragement is key. And while I get that bearing children and high stress jobs/,lives,/kids can make it hard , eating crap and overeating and overdrinking are poor coping mechanisms and set poor examples.  I know all this because I struggle too with it. It's really hard and it's hard on a marriage. But there should be room.for.a.spouse to express concern (not disgust) empathy and offer support.

If I hear one more stupid hormone excuse I’m going to explode!  Please stop already. All it boils down to is the desire and will power. Calories in calories out!  At almost 60 I still have a kickass body. Why? Because I want it! Gym gym gym and a little restraint ffs. I’m no different than any other woman on the planet.  [/quote]

Sounds like you have a buttload of support if you are getting to the gym all of the time.  [/quote]

Again with the excuses! During this time with gyms closed I haven’t been exercising like I usually do but guess what!? I have been careful with my calorie intake.    Hmm maybe I have a really high IQ.. :D   So is you can’t get to the gym duct tape your mouth. [/quote]
