Overweight Husbands

I wonder why it’s the wife that has to sort out the DHs diet? ( as I do)

I’ve dieted off and on for over 40 years but I’ve never placed any responsibility for it onto my DH, I am able to say No to anything not on my diet list, but the men in our lives have to be sorted by us!

For a different reason (because he wouldn't see the doctor no matter how i begged him) i eventually had to relinquish responsibility for his health as the worry was too much, it didn't end well. At some point your DH needs to be responsible and possibly suffer for the consequences.

DH is on a low carb diet, all the meat he wants, various fruit and veg, he has low carb bread.
No potatoes, ordinary bread, pastry, cakes etc.
Google it and you will find plenty of info ?
I found some low carb sausages ( no breadcrumbs in them)
He’s losing weight, so I am happy to go along with him as I could do with losing half a stone too, best thing is he isn’t hungry and if he is I give him a cooked sausage to snack on or some peanuts.
I am giving him lean meats though, but the Dr. Is fine with the diet at the moment. It did mean a big clear out of all the things that I like to eat though.

Sadly ExD I think you’re wasting your time and emotional energy on this one.
Your DH needs to change himself and he won’t do that until or unless he sees some benefit to himself.
I think you’ve done all you can, unless, rather than focusing on the health issues, you can bring yourself to say to him that his appearance disgusts you. I’m not sure I could.

My late DH could eat enough to feed a family at one sitting and at six feet weighed between 17 and 18 stone. At 75 he was found to have an abdominal aneurysm. After the operation and in a matter of weeks, his weight dropped by almost six and half stone. Until the end of his life at 82 he still ate a good size meal, but never regained any of the weight he had previously lost. No one has ever been able to explain this unusual phenomenon.

I wish there was a button here to indicate 'thank you' or 'like' such as there is on Facebook. I'll let you know if I find any answers.

ExD snap! You have my sympathy. Mine thinks all he needs is a couple of games of golf each week. ?
