My husband has recently started working out 5 days a week and eating healthy. He lost 15 lbs in 2 months.
I am 5′1 and weigh 120lbs.
I have been the same size since we have been together for 6 years.
I admit I do eat unhealthy… lots of sweets… not so much veggies and meat. and I never work out. so obviously if I don’t work out I am going to get a little flabby.
so…
We went to my favorite restaurant because I wanted dessert to celebrate passing this exam. So we are at the restaurant and I say I felt really uncomfortable at the beach the other day because I was all bloated and fat. He interrupts me and says yeah, you should start working out the back of your legs and butt. I say why what is wrong with my legs???? (by the way I was going to say I felt bloated at the beach because I was on my period, and I didn’t want to go to the beach anymore when its that time of the month) so he says… well your starting to get cellulite on the back of your legs and butt. I just staired at him for a minute because I didn’t know what to say… finally I say that’s really mean… really really really mean. he says well I thought you would want to know because you don’t usually look back there. I almost started crying in the restaurant and I don’t think he even noticed.
I understand him trying to tell me that something was going on back there… but I wish he would have done it in a nicer way.
I tryed talking to him about it later and he just blew it off like no big deal.

how should I deal with this?
okay.. I told him he hurt my feelings.. he says I don’t know how to say it in a nicer way. basically he didn’t care that it hurt me..

and I know that he meant it in a constructive way not critical way… but he could have said it in a better manner.

and it wouldn’t hurt me to work out, but I am comfortable with my body the way it is…. I am not comfortable with the only comment about my body from my husband is a negitive one.

Wouldn’t you hate your parents if you went to McDonald’s as a kid and they didn’t let you have fries? If parents are that worried about their kids health and think fries are going to make them unhealthy, they eat too much fast food to begin with. If you get fast food once a week or less there is nothing wrong with a kid getting fries.
Anyone who is saying it is unfair that kids eat whatever they want blah blah blah blah obviously misread the question.

What I said was if kids eat fastfood once a week or less, how is fries going to hurt them?

Obviously a lot of you are overprotective parents who just want your kids to be good little boys who always eat their veggies and scrub behind their ears…

Give me a break and get a life.

Considering the person is moderately obese (overweight), has no specific medical conditions, lives a fairly active lifestyle, and does not eat at fast food joints or eat a large amt. of junk food? I ask because all in our family want to diet, BMI’s are 33, 35.9, and 30.
We thought of trying the fill 1/2 of your plate with steamed veggies, and 1/8 with meat, 1/8 with fruit, 1/8 with starches, and use the remaining portion that would equal the 1/8 for your liquid, and DON”T wash down your food plan. We all like veggies and baked foods, and don’t really overeat any more like we did in the past. We have not had pot. chips/fries/etc. for 2 months, do drink crystal lite drinks, don’t drink soda and our only 2 fast food restaurants are subway and Arbys…so: can anyone tell us what has worked for them? Oh, yes: the 19yr. old spends his day at college, walking campus, playing pool and racketball, and is a couch pot. at home about 5 hrs. per day, the dad is not very active, and mom works 2 jobs: both require physical strength and total 15 hrs. per day. (Please: no cracks about dad not being active, he has a medical reason)
