[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meh.  This definitely cuts both ways.  I wouldn't be attracted to my husband if he were 50 pounds overweight either.  Would I stay with him?  Yes, but our sex life would suffer.  Mostly I would be concerned about what he's doing to his health.  Apart from that, I think the best way to have lasting weight loss is to lose weight for yourself, not for your spouse (though increased sex appeal is not a bad side effect.)

I also don't like the fat-shaming overtones of this article and I don't see much value in it; women who are overweight are well aware that they're considered less attractive by our culture's  standards.  If they could easily lose the weight I'm sure they already would have. [/quote]

Many of these overweight women easily lose the weight after getting divorced.
I've seen this all the time. Clearly it's a matter of basic motivation.
If "fat shaming" is the wrong kind of motivation, what would you suggest?

"Oh no!  All the fat married women are going to get divorced!  Let's shame them into weight loss."  Why are you so concerned about the marriages of fat women or about motivating married fat women to lose weight?  Are you or your spouse an overweight woman?   I'm not buying your fat-shaming as faux concern for the well-being of fat married women everywhere.  [/quote]
