that I havent put on a wee bit of weight lately!
I love my DH but sometimes he can be too honest with his opinion. Ive put on about 9 pounds since xmas through eating badly while working away and just not exercising.
I feel bad about it particularly as we are heading off on a sun holiday in a forthinghts time and dont need him pointing out that Im a bit 'softer' round the middle!
Could I loose half a stone in 2 weeks if I ate nothing but fruit

Probably not, but a sensible diet and some sit-ups/jogging would probably tone you up though.
Good luck, I fucking hate exercise

Only 9lbs? I'm surprised it shows TBH.
If you don't want him to be honest, tell him 
But then you'll not be able to trust him to tell you the truth, bit like MN really.

Well they might do...I can't answer that. But the most important thing here is that you lose it for yourself if that's what you want to do.
If you think you'll be happier and enjoy your holiday more, then get jogging

ok jogging it is. Tomorrow of course
I will start tomorrow and jog for me and then shake my skinny ass in his face when we are on holiday

I bloody wasn't being sarky!
9lbs?? I'd be right fucked off if DH said anything about my weight, even if I put on stones, especially over six months.
The only legit reasons to me would be that he'd be worried for my health if I put on a lot, or wondered if something was stressing me out and I was comfort eating (which I don't do).
Tell him to go fuck himself
'You could lose x stone of utter nobber in a few minutes and it might be healthier for you!'
ZX means by getting rid of your DH

Sorry agent I picked you up wrong
To be fair, I was whinging about it and looking for reassurance that I look ok and instead got 'yeah you can notice you've put weight on' followed by 'when are we going for a cycle?'
As my mum always says - dont ask the question of you know you wont like the answer!
ZX I would get rid of him but I hate being on holiday alone

Awww cut him some slack. A lot of men are just brutally honest with their observations..but they forget to add how much they don't really care about it.
I'll offer to take his place on hols as long as there's muchos drinking and eating. But I draw the line at bike riding!

I was paraphrasing an old joke OP about how to get rid of unsightly fat. Good on you for your reply though
The pounds are just extra weight in numbers. If you were as toned as you could possibly be you would lose inches all over but weigh much more because muscle is heavier than fat. If it really is all on your stomach then a good exercise programme focusing on that area would be better than just eating fruit. Please tell me you aren't really considering that.

Right then! A strict diet of dust and water...then you can pig out again on hols

An easy assumption to make on AIBU kidsscare
I was always amazed DH found me attractive when I was pregnant and the size of a three story house.
I'm an OK weight for my height when I'm not pregnant, but if he picked up on any changes in my body that you get when you've had a DC, I'd feel really insecure.
