To be Fedup that my DH is FAT, and lazy most of the time

[fedupinthenorth]

have namechanged, his weight is really getting me down, how can i get him to lose a few pounds?

and he only gets fatter at christmas

Is he particularly busy at this time of year? But lazy otherwise?

Why is his weight getting you down? I'm not sure I like the tone of your op much, especially the second bit

Everyone gets fatter at Christmas
Go for walks with him, cook nice meals together, take up dancing etc.
In the end though, if he is happy as he is, there's probably not a lot you can do

YANBU but I don't know what you do about it.. my dh is overweight and would really benefit from loosing some weight. He moans about it but refuses to do anything about it. He is a comfort eater and too lazy for exercise. Will watch this space for suggestions!!

Oh FFS!

whats wrong with my tone?

oh ffs, should have known not to ask for advice here

And NO he isnt depressed

Please bear in mind that this topic encourages posters to give their opinions - i.e. they might disagree with you.

well i'm sure all your DH's must be perfect then

I dont think IABU to want him to lose a few pounds

Whoops! Pressed send before adding:

Have you spoken to him about it - mentioned that his health may suffer etc if he keeps putting on weight?

If you're eating healthily at home where/what is he eating elsewhere that's making him put on the weight?

I am assuming you're being serious, and you're not Santa's wife.

How overweight are we talking here?

I'm overweight, I need to lose more than a few pounds, but I know that fat or thin, my dh loves me and as long as I am happy, he is too.
I don't think you are being really U, but you can't force someone to lose weight just cos you aren't happy with it.
You could help him by stealth by developing an interest in something active, and tasty healthy food (if it exists, that is)

Oops thought it was a spoof too! so hard to tell sometimes on here!

He drinks far too much too, especially christmas, so not only is he over weight but he has a huge beer belly

every year i try to encourage him to be more healthy, i am so fed up i am thinking of leaving him

...

YANBU- I too wouldn't like it if my dh was a couch potato and stuffed his face too much.
Change your food- encourage him to do something physical- and tell him how you feel.
I don't know how old he is, but suggest a cholesterol test- I would be worried about the effects on his health.

How do you encourage him?

i cook healthy meals, i try to get him out walking alot, but christmas is just a night mare

i have to go now, things to do, thanks for replies

Right assuming this isn't a wind up, which it does sound like, give us the facts. What weight are we talking? Give us a snap shot of his life? Because at the moment you just sound whingey, judgey and fairly unpleasant tbh. I would never talk about my DH the way you are. His weight bothers you so much that you are thinking of leaving him? Well maybe you ought to. He might be happier too and his weight may come down.
