When we met he was a gym goer and had big arms and rippling abs. Nine years later he is still fit but has a more lean physique and his abs have all but disappeared.
So, having hit the big four-oh, he's decided to sort his body out. He had a Fitbit and is obsessed with his step count, calories in and out, sleep quality, everything. I have one too and I feel like a complete fat lump next to him. He averages 15k steps a day, I average about 3k.
He's been off work this week and at random moments he jumps up and does twenty press ups, or planks for two minutes. He's constantly on at me to come out for a walk when I'm quite happy lounging on the sofa.
He's now bought a pull up bar for the garage door and keeps reading me articles from the Internet about callisthenics and the fat content of certain foods.
I love him to the ends of the earth but he is doing my head in. It's a constant reminder of how unfit I am (I'm a good four stone heavier than when we met and a lot unheathlier). He isn't trying to make me feel bad but he is. I don't need catsbumfaces from him when I take three biscuits from the tin or eat cheesy chips for lunch. Neither do I need a constant stream of info from him about good fats and high salt contents or the benefits of 10k steps a day.
Aibu? (I suspect I possibly am).
