i don't want to keep ignoring it...i do want to talk to him about it. i guess that is why i posted...for some advice on how to talk to him. you ladies are a ton of help...thanks for the advice. i'll keep chewing on it (LOL) and let you know how it comes about

Maybe you could buy a new piece of exercise equipment if he'd rather work out at home? That might get him motivated. Or you could start a program together so that you'd be able to encourage him along the way.

As far as the food is concerned, perhaps if the two of you shop together (I don't know how you do that now), then you could say you want to buy lots of fruits and vegetables so that you can both be more healthy in the future. If there isn't a lot of sweets or fattening foods around the house, he won't be as tempted, at least when he is home. Also, there are a lot of ladies who have posted some really great WW recipes here in the recipe section. Maybe if you make it a goal for both of you to eat healthy, you'll begin to see an improvement in your husband's health and weight. I'm a big fan of encouraging by setting an example, if you can't tell. I hope it works out for you. Again, good luck!
