Do you have any personal experiences with this. Please don’t freak out like Yolo. I ask because perspective matters. [/quote]
ill let you be the judge:
-my ex girlfriend
when we started dating, she was 5’3 140lbs (almost triple D’s contributed a lot to her weight). We broke up 2 years later, but stayed friends. 2 years later she started ballooning up (155lbs at 5’3) and came to me for advice. I told her to clean up her diet and start walking on her treadmill.
Her response? “Im just going to eat whatever I want and work out more to compensate.” No matter how many times I told her it would fail… she didn’t believe me (lol). She’s about 180lbs at the moment (still 5’3)
-my mom
after she quit her full time job, she started putting on weight (I guess there goes the argument of working more makes u fat). she was about 5’1 170.
I started throwing away food in our refrigerator because im the man in my house (jk but serious).
She and my dad regularly have “get-togethers” with members of their church to eat and socialize. Of course, all the men were in decent shape, and their wive’s were ham planets (disturbing).
the fat wives brought all kinds of treats which my mom FUCKING DOVE ON. She would eat it and smile at me… as if she was “sticking it to me”.
as time went by, her mood REALLY began to tank. my brother and I convinced her that her fat-fuckness was what was causing it… and my brother and I both saw a look in her eyes that we had never seen before… it was like she was “waking up”. Now she has been eating right, working out, lost a shit ton of weight… and is really happy with herself and with life
and my parents marriage is as strong as ever 28 years and counting[/quote]
I’m 100% serious. Good for your mom. I’m glad you and your family helped each other out and she is doign well.
Now that being said, you have 2 examples and based off these 2 examples you’ve shaped your perspective to fit EVERYONE else. Not everyone fits though.
The OP clearly doesn’t support his wife. She, it seems, is basically alone. You mom had you, your brother, and Dad to support her. That makes a HUGE differnce. Your mon wasn’t working (OPs wife must be for insurance) and your mom had grown children (OP’s wife I don’t beleive does although I’m not sure). Do you think your mom would do as well if she had you and your brother running around under age 8 or 10? Do you think she would do as well if she was working all the time?
Also maybe work did keep your mom slim, it does the opposite for many. I’ve worked aroudn A LOT of very fat women in an office setting.
Your GF didn’t listen. Well that’s on her, she’s an idiot, but that doesn’t mean the next gf won’t listen. Plenty of women listen to advice on weight loss.
