My friends wife is over weight and mad at me...

I went throught this with my wife. She was in nursing school and ballooned to almost 200lbs. I didnt even realize it until she kept saying .."look how fat I am , why would you want to be with me!" I felt cheated because when I was first with her she complained i was too skinny. I started working out and got buffed and she just got fat. in another story..i stressed her out and she lost her weight, now she is a knock out. I know its not a good way to lose weight, but it worked.
Her sisters has kids that are huge...over 300lbs or more. I tell them all the time they are gonna have alot of early health problems. I been working out for years now and i even train people. They wont take my advise on diets or exercises. now both her older sisters have diabetes..Go figure.

meh My wife is overweight and she learned a long time ago that complaining to me didnt get her anywhere because all she did was complain and never did anything about it. If someone asks you and then gets mad about it they need to get some psych help. She has now realized that she needs to do something about it and quit crying.
When someone actually wants your opinion you can sugarcoat it and tip toe around the subject or you can be honest. When they get upset thats their problem.

Good one!! You did the right thing, the hard thing but right thing. Honesty is the best policy!
I think you're a my brother from another mother! Who's to say you're wrong. Over indulging in anything is a problem. This is coming from a man that just got home from a big dinner and two bottles of wine.
Either way, I owe a chicken cutlet brocolli rabe from Tony Lukes next time I see ya!!
Good on ya for tellin' it like it is. And good on yer bud (husband) for understanding..
Grab.

I feel your pain Bro.
MY sisters are all obese. Constantly on the fitness and diet kick and constantly putting weight back on. It is depressing to watch. Their whole lives have been about supposedly watching what they eat and counting calories here and there. But, for phuk's sake why is there no progress?
I discovered why on one of my various trips home some years ago from the USAF abroad. Lounging with BIG sis in her bedroom just chilling with my back to the bed and I feel something there underneath. Low and behold the entire Hostess inventory with a separate section to accomodate Entemann's. Then I noticed all of the carbonated regular soda pop cans. Must have been three of four cases under there. The scary part is now well into adulthood all of the obesity related problems are showing face. Sister one had Hodgkins(not really obesity related but had to point it out). Sister two has Diabetes type II with circulatory problems (festering foot blister that won't heal and became infected/was hospitalized). Sister three has had visual impairment and damage due to leaky blood vessels in her eyes that have required surgical intervention with laser surgery.
Sister one at one point went on a real Super Size me diet. She was at McD's every day for every meal and this went on for months not just one like in the documentary. You wanna know how big she got? Well packing on 60 lbs in a year and dropping it over the next two is like a walk in the park for these ladies.
So am I a bit sensitive about this whole issue PHUK yeah.
I believe everyone that is "significantly overweight or obese" needs a motivational swift kick in their multiple asses...
When anyone asks, "do I look fat" I am brutally honest.
I go so far as to recommend guaranteed lifestyle changes to end the cycle.
Like go into the pantry of ANY large person and tell me what you'll find? Nevermind you don't have to I already know. SNACK FOODS, SNACK FOODS AND MORE SNACK FOODS. Calorie rich and carbohydrate dense crap. Nobody should eat like that unless they are training for a marathon and I DO NOT MEAN A MOVIE MARATHON.
I have had my ups and downs but never like that. I am more of an endomorph or borderline mesomorph. Never have I been someone you could call obese. Just a big strappin lad as they say in the UK.
