One of my dear friends was trying to get her husband to lose weight and change his diet. He just had a ruptured colon and almost died. It was his wake up call. He has now lost a lot of weight and is looking good.
You are in a tough position. |

I wish I could help you sweetie, but I'm not in a good marriage to give any advice. Not because of this weight, there are many other reasons....many!
Maybe you could go walk with him, it would be healthy for you AND the baby. Maybe have the conversation with him that you want him to be around to see the kids grow up, and to be able to be fit enough to play with them. Sorry, that's all I've got to offer right now.

Janet has a good point, make the exercise a couples thing and really stick to it. You don't have to tell your husband he's gained weight, believe me....he knows! I don't know how old your baby is, but it's not unusual to lose your sex drive after having a baby....you are tired and focused on the child. You need to turn your focus back on your relationship. You married this man, so you must have loved him at some point. Try reminding yourself why you fell in love in the first place. Every day find something positive to say to him. It might feel forced inthe begining but you'll be surprised how quickly it will become a habit. If you fell in love with him once, you can do it again. You really can! Good luck!

I agree - it probably is mostly hormonal. But, you might make a doctor's appointment for him for a check up. I'm sure the doctor will tell him that he has to lose weight. Then, you can blame his health and the doctor!
You can tell him that he's breathing funny when he sleeps, or some story like that as a reason for a check up.
