DH is getting a little fat around the middle

And I absolutely love it 🤣

He has always been skinny naturally. Our whole lives but he hit 40 a few years ago and his weight has been creeping up a little. Hes probably 2 stone heavier now and he has a little fat belly.

I love it, I think its really attractive and squishy, I can't say that to anyone IRL so am saying it here 🤣

I have always like 'thicker' men but never thought the middle age spread would hit him as he has always been very slim!

I'm just voicing my love for him and my appreciation of his body outloud. People often see aging and the weight gain that comes with it sometimes as a negative. Hes grey and a little tubby and I find him more attractive than ever.
I was just pondering outloud really.

😂 good for you! There's so much negativity on here and I was expecting this to be another negative thread.

Now go and spend time with him and enjoy him!

Have fun blowing raspberries on his wobbly tum!

Wouldn’t you rather he be health and not carry too much fat, especially getting older?

He has gained 2 stone and has always been skinny, skinny. So he is still safely within a healthy BMI for his height.

I gaind 6 stone over the course of having our children so therenis no way I am going to shame him for gaining for the first time in his life

You said he has a fat belly. Fat around your belly is not good as it means there is fat around your organs which increases the risk of various health issues.

You don’t need to shame him to encourage him to reduce body fat. He can gain weight in a healthy way.
