How overweight is she? That matters. 10-20 pounds you can be subtle and patient. 30+, you'll just have to tell her nicely.

This reminds of The King of Queens episode where Doug tries to get Carrie to lose a couple pounds even though she's perfect when he's short as hell and 300+ pounds.

My wife used to ask me how much weight I thought she should lose (obvious trap). My reply was always "how much do you want to weigh", knowing my next question, if she answered, would be "how much do you weigh now?" She never answered.

You don’t. You just begin to exercise together. And throw out the garbage food when she’s not looking. Absolutely nothing good can come from offering a woman friendly advice. That’s how wars start.

By her a shirt or dress One size too small

Tell her how hot she’s gonna look in it before she puts in on and how much you loved it when you ou first saw it.


She’ll Figure the rest out

Tear out a door frame to the bedroom. When she asks what you’re doing say you’re widening the door so she can fit through easier

Take charge of cooking, you be the one to make the meals. More grilled chicken breast and veggies.

Start encouraging her to go walking and progress to jogging with you in the evenings. Find active hobbies that you both can do together.

Or just get divorced and find a skinny person your apathy turns fat again.

I'm confused. Does she not realize she needs to lose weight or she knows it and doesn't care to do anything about it?

I think most people know whether or not they are not at ideal weight. My former doctor would always talk about my BMI (is good) and how most people's is bad.

Lead by example. If you've also gained a few lbs and aren't taking any steps to be healthy you don't really have a leg to stand on. If you are, tell her it would make you happy to see her making an effort to be healthy so one day you can enjoy an active retirement together.

The same way she tells you that you need to grow your dick 3 inches…you don’t.

Ask her if one of her friends has lost some weight because she looks different. Then shrug off her response.

The seed has been sowed.

Best to just get a new one. If she doesn't lift weights don't marry her

For health reasons of course.


Just buy a scale and put it on her side of the bathroom.

Carrie was not perfect in that season lol Doug was huge as always but Carrie was at least 30-40lb heavier that season compared to when the show started. I think she may have had a kid around that time

I'll tell my wife, oh I saw so and so the other day. She looks like she's lost weight. She looks much better. Sometimes, I'll throw in a is She still single? My wife and I have been together for 18 years, so she can see through everything I say, but the point is still made. If it pisses her off, it pisses her off.
