The problem is not me its my wife.

I Love her so much and she destroing her life. She 23years old 5 foot 6 inches and she weights 260lbs. I know that there’s worse but ever since the weight she lost strength and developed breathing problems and heart pains. We have two kids i’m in the army. And i’ve tried everything I can think of. It it dosn’t work of it makes her mad. So a week ago I told her that it has to stop when i go to war the kids will need her and if somthing happens to me then the kids will need her the rest of their lives. I’m afraid that if she dosn’t improve that her health will drop to far. But she still dosn’t try. She says i don’t care, i’m me and if thats not good enough than fine. But she dosn’t realize how much i love her and need her and the same with our kids. So I told her that if she didn’t make an effort that i would have to do somthing harsh and she she asked like what I told her that i could not sit around watching her kill her self and that if she didn’t try that i wouldn’t. So we talked and things looked great she wants to lose it but dosn’t want the work that comes with it in her packed day. And things went fine…..for two days or so. Last night she ait lots of ice cream, then today she hasn’t stopped, including more ice cream. Ive tried being mean i’ve tried comments and i’ve tried so many other ways but nothing is working please help us. I can’t lose my wife and to somthing like this.

whenever you have some free time, take her somewhere where you have to excersize (a romantic walk downtown, in the park, beach, etc.) let her know you’re there for her. also if you have free time, make healthy meals for the family. and a healthy dessert (fruit) good luck!

It sounds to me like your wife is feeling neglected and in need of some personal private attention from you. Raising 2 children isn’t easy. If you have your military career and shes home with the kids, where is the time for you and her. Do you schedule date time or alone time just for the two of you. You say its not you but her, and yes to a large degree, but what shes doing to herself didn’t just happen overnight.
Stop threatening her and criticizing her and work with her. Talk to her in a positive way rather than the way you have been talking to her. Like yodaluv12 said, do things with her like walking and even schedule some alone time where you and her can exercise together and have fun at it. If the romance has died out between you two, then rekindle it. C’mon, shes your wife and the mother of your kids, so help her and work with her but without the threats and criticisms. When you do that, you just make her resentful towards you and then shes not going to listen to your words.

It sounds to me like the problem is rooted in dpression. Lots of women are what is referred to as “emotional eaters”. Tell her she should consider seeing a therepist. If that’s not where the problem lies, maybe she should consider a procedure called gastric bypass. My mother had it in June and she’s lost over 90 pounds since then. I’m having it this July. It’s a lot of work, but it works for those of us who’ve tried everything else. Type www.allina.com/ahs/mercyunity.nsf/page/surgery into the url bar and though I don’t know where you live and this is a page for the twin cities in Minnesota, it will tell you an awful lot about the surgery and other options, too. Good luck!

wow, she really needs to relize how important her health is. I mean i joined the National Guard and omg i am dying becuase of my lack of fittness. If she has to take care of the kids how will she honestly survive. She wouldn’t be able to look after them. Maybe she just needs to work out alot, or maybe surgery. I hope its goes well
