how do I tell my husband he needs to lose weight

He knows he needs to lose weight and knows I really want him to lose weight. He is deployed. He always gets to where we both like then let’s himself good. He was doing good went to the gym every day and was eating better and lost 10 pounds and I always told him how proud I was. He stopped drinking alcohol which was a main part of his gut. But I saw a picture and can tell he’s giving up again and its making me unattracted to him and is making me really depressed. I do love him so much. But I feel embarassed cuz I am fit and I don’t want to feel embarassed around him. What do I do? I can’t make healthier meals or workout with him cuz he is away

Answer #1

If you really do love him then his weight wouldn’t be such a big issue. It’s fine to want your significant other to lose weight, but for you to say that you’re embarrassed by him because of his weight is a little selfish of you. Just tell him that you’d like to see him lose some weight I guess, but don’t be overbearing and mean about it. The weight can come off, it’s not permanent.

Answer #2

I’m not saying it just for me but him too he is only 21. And I know it would make him feel better about himself

Answer #3

Well if he really wants to lose weight then he’ll make the effort. When he comes back, you can ask him to go on a walk or run with you.

Answer #4
