My Husband Turned His Life Around. I Wasn't Prepared For How Much I'd Resent It.

That extra bit of body peeking over the waistband of his swim shorts? I didn’t say it aloud, but I thought at the time that he was being vain. My husband had been grumbling about losing weight for some time now. I understood — I could stand to make a few lifestyle changes myself, but I’d fallen into a pattern of excuses.
If he wanted to commit to his health, I was with him one hundred per cent. But while I was prepared to see my husband attempt to turn his life around, what I wasn’t prepared for was how I’d feel when he actually achieved what he had set out to do.
quote:
It bears noting that my husband’s version of the low-carb, high-fat diet didn’t include any of my favourite foods: Twix bars, kettle chips and that delish double-layered chocolate cake from Metro. He stocked up on cauliflower rice, while I remained loyal to the plain white stuff. As he conscientiously grilled chicken or fish for his lunch, I’d watch sucking on just one spoonful of Nutella. Before leaving for work in the morning, he’d make two glasses of a rose-tinted breakfast smoothie in the new blender we swore we’d use together.
I can’t tell you how many times I wanted to use that blender as a bludgeon.

Two years later, he’s 20 pounds lighter, his clothes fit a bit too sexily for my liking and he doesn’t burp as much (it’s the little things). Two years later, I’m still struggling to come to terms with what it was really all about: my lack of discipline and fear of change.
quote:
As I marvel at my husband’s discipline and focus, I increasingly recognize that I am an individual apart from him. It’s important to have a marriage that challenges you to be your best self, and challenge me is exactly what my husband did, although unwittingly. I’m working on letting go of my resentment before it turns into full-blown animus towards a sweet man who was just trying to look good in board shorts.

So, hot new chick started where he worked.
He fell hard and did what he had to do to rail her.
Fat arse wife lost out?
Sound about right?

If this was written anonymously or in a journal, I don't have a huge issue with it. She multiple times admits she's in the wrong for thinking it, and at the end comes to the conclusion she's pissy at herself for not having the discipline to do the same thing. If she wrote this under her own name, it's a weird, weird thing to put out in the world.
Edit: I see she actually freaking wrote that in a well read website. What an idiot.

This is my problem too. I’m too sexy and my wife is jealous and fearful that I’ll decide to keep one of the hotties that throws herself into me.

There’s a picture featuring a woman but she’s fit and it looks like a stock picture

Probably put on some muscle too? Drop 50 pounds in fat and put on 30 pounds in muscle?

Sounds like he was still dealing with the Twix bars and metro cake, he just didn’t do it around the Mrs

I'm reminded of Jordan Peterson's 12 rules for life and his response when people laughed at his "clean your room" chapter. He said you think it's easy? try it. try and better yourself and see the pushback you get from those that you thought cared about you. they don't they care about you, they want you to be in misery with them and see your bettering yourself as an attack on them.

I lost a bunch of weight thinking I’d get lucky more often. In reality, it happens even less often now with the Mrs.
