Husbands weight issues? -

I need help figuring out how to handle my husband s issues with weight. Since I have known him, his weight has fluctuated up and down by about 20 pounds each time, and he now weighs more than he ever has. He is not severely obese, but I am worried that the fluctuation and weight gain will cause him problems over time. And I know that some of you will respond negatively to this, but I don t find him as attractive...mostly because he doesn t find HIMSELF attractive. It s difficult, when he has such a poor self-image of his own attractiveness, to be as attracted to him. It s no fun trying to convince someone they re hot!! Trouble is, like so many people, he has gotten into a bit of an emotional rut, where he feels like he can t lose the weight. He s struggled with weight his whole life, he says. However, all I ve ever seen him do is start weight loss programs or ideas but never follow through and reach his weight goal. He gets sick of doing it and says that he s been dieting his whole life and is sick of it. Right now, he is trying to lose weight by trying to eat better and work out more. He is exercising a bit more, but so far he hasn t lost any weight and anytime he has an excuse not to work out, he uses it.It seems to me like he just needs to set his mind to it, start a program and just do it. Maybe also get some counseling about the emotional reasons behind his bad eating habits and some behavioral counseling. But whenever I get involved at all, it doesn t help, and it isn t really my place to get him to lose weight. Because it s something HE needs to do. Is there anything I can say to him to help him get moving? Or do I just need to wait for him (which I fear will never happen)? What can I do to help? Thanks!

Well if you want to go to the Extreme than try to get him onto the biggest loser. Otherwise try telling him that we (meaning you guys) will loose weight together which will prone him to loose weight. Also try some weight loss options like pills tofu lol

You need to have correct information if you want to lose weight. You can did way that I lost 20 pounds in 7 weeks. It works amazing and It will work for you too. You can get more information here link below.

ok, as we get older we pack on a few more pounds then usual, if his weight is beginning to be a problem then it s up to you to start buying more healthier foods and putting them in the house. If it s motivation for working out you need and you need to get him out of his rut then why don t you go over to him and say: Hey it s a nice day out side let go walking. And go walking with him, I m pretty sure both of you can use the walk and you guys will be motivating each other. You work out together, you get fit together. He needs to know that you support him, Key word (Support) and he needs to know that you still love him and are attracted to him. If your attracted to him or at lease fake it, then he will feel more attractive about himself and most likely feel motivated enough to want to work out. Men know when you are not attracted to them and therefore get into a rut. Do things together and you will see his mood and his body change for the better.

If I were you I would be feeding him more fruits and veggies and less fatty foods. Whether or not he exercises won t make much difference. Eating healthy foods at regular intervals 2? to 3 hours will keep him feeling good as well being good for him. The most important meal of the day is breakfast, after 6 to 10 hours of not eating you need some fuel to get the body going again. It should include some protein and be the biggest meal of the day.

Maybe he s depressed. You could just go walking together.

Hey florafalWeight mangement is really pretty simple-calories in vs.calories out. If you burn more calories than you take in, you lose weight-that is the total answer.Question is-how do you do it? Two ways-you build up metabolism and manage intake....nothing else works. I dropped 50 pounds by power walking and and calorie management. I d suggest two things. First-get him walking every day and go with him-go slow at first, maybe just a quarter mile and slowly build up your distance and speed-that s called power walking . As you build, slowly start alternating your arms back and forth. This builds your metabolism and your body will react to it. You gotta do it every day, but it will get results-you can do it when you want with no gym membership fees. Second-get on a calorie management program-there s lots of them out there and they all will work if you stick to them. There s a link below for one that I used and I was pretty happy with it.Not expensive either-but follow the program....and by the way it s not a diet-actually pretty good stuff.Once his metabolism stabilizes he ll burn more calories and the rest his body will do on its own...good luck!http://aee00obbt0mdg2fdqnq0skxy6r.hop.clickbank.net/

Well, i stopped reading after I read He has been dieting his whole life and tired of it Living healthy and being healthy is a life style..and clearly he is not wanting that life style. I ve dealt with lots of people trying to lose weight and have followed up with many of those people and he really sounds like the type of person that just wont change...and the reason is he just doesn t want to, he either doesn t have the will power or just likes living the way he is.
