[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the record: 
-- the gain I'm talking about increased her weight by 20-25% from her old normal
-- this is not baby weight. The last baby was 9 yars ago. The weight gaining has been only in the past couple years
-- I keep myself trim [/quote]

LOL. You ain't seen nothing yet, she's just getting started buddy. My wife weighed 140 before getting pregnant 15+ years ago with out one kid. 165 was her post-baby weight. Then it was 180 after going back to work full time when kid was six. Now post-pandemic it's somewhere north of 200, I won't even guess.

As she says "I love to eat." She thinks she eats healthy but just eats too much healthy food. Though I'm not sure a large bag of chips with salsa is a healthy meal.

I will confess I am not perfect and have myself gained a net of 10 pounds during that time frame.

Telling her she needs to lose weight won't go over well. Trust me.[/quote]

If you care that much why don’t you get a better job so she can quit hers and focus on working out, cooking healthy meals, reducing stress, etc so she can lose weight and you will find her sexually appealing?  Genuine question - if you really care that much, man up and make more money so she can stop working.

(Obviously I find your post ridiculous and so is mine but one ridiculous post deserves another.  And my idea might actually solve your “problem.”)[/quote]

She enjoys her job. Why would she want to give up something that brings her satisfaction? And it's not impossible to do all those things you mention AND have a job. Many of us do it.[/quote]

I don’t want her to do that.  But for a lot of people there are only so many hours in a day and so much energy and something’s gotta give.  Obviously she is not one of those people who can “do it all.”  You can be bitter about it, which you clearly are from your first post, or you can accept it, or you can make it easier for her to pursue your #1 goal by getting her to quit her (apparently satisfying) job to focus instead on her body for your own personal gratification.  Those are the actual choices here in reality - you think her keeping her job and losing 60 lbs and keeping it off as she ages is an actual possibility but that’s not realistically one of your options.
