[quote=Anonymous]I'll share this and maybe it will give you some perspective.

I have found that when I have a major life change, a lot of my energy goes into it.  Including the energy I have to eat properly and get exercise.  For example, when I moved for the first time in 10 years, I gained back most of what I had lost in the months prior because, for me, I just didn't have the emotional energy to eat right.  I needed comfort and for me, comfort is food.

In another instance, I was under extreme stress at work and it took every ounce of energy I had to get through the day and make dinner.  I spent hours after they were in bed just watching TV.  (I was a single parent at the time)

Perhaps your wife is similar.  Being pregnant and having a baby is a massive upheaval.  Maybe she would benefit from some counseling.  But maybe she just needs time to find her equilibrium and energy to go back to eating well.

And, if that's the case, you'll just have to wait and be patient.  Continue to be the good partner that you are being and recognize that your marriage is not a sprint, it's a marathon.  As we can all imagine, there are parts of the marathon that are unpleasant and not perfect.  This is one of those times.

Good luck.[/quote]
