[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow if so many of us married men regular gym attendees moderate to non drinkers diet conscious spoke this way about our wives wow.

There are a lot us. A lot of DWs are not only overweight but a few are obese. But if course women have a repertoire of excuses they can cling on to. It's a minefield for a lot married men. If your wife is fat just shut your mouth.[/quote]

As a woman who has stayed in shape and had taken great care of herself into middle age, I say this—

If you had to deal with an iota of the hormones that women have to deal with through the course of their life, you’d be in a puddle crying. Pregnancy weight gain and hormonal weight gain are no joke. Not to mention breast-feeding, weaning, weekly shifts due to hormones, and perimenopause. Then there is also bloating, G.I. issues, breast, pain, and a bunch of fun stuff.

My OB told me to gain more weight in my final month of pregnancy because I hadn’t gained much. Guess what? It took me a year and a half to lose that last 7 pounds. And the first round required pure starvation— like eating disorder levels. This was despite working out before, during, and after my pregnancy (and watching my calories). And I’m short so it’s not an insignificant amount on my frame.

And come on we all know it’s easier for men to lose weight. I’m not saying OP could not have been more delicate and what she said, but laying out some facts.

So kindly shut the F up.

Oh, and gotta get all snatched and cute all while bleeding and healing from pushing out a whole human. So F off[/quote]
