I agree. I haven't put on weight since I got married, but my husband has. He says we should buy more fruit and veggies and "eat healthy." I do most of the food shopping, so I buy things that I wouldn't touch...cauliflower, broccoli, turnips, etc...that he says he likes. I get REALLY tired of throwing them out when they've gone moldy. I joined a gym recently and, until I was knocked down by a horrible chest infection immediately followed by gastric flu (which is why I'm home today), I went three or four days a week. I got my husband a membership because he said he wanted one, but he never goes.

Sigh.

And when was the last time you told him he was beautiful? LOL

In our house, you eat what's put in front of you. I won't serve certain veggies if people hate them, but you will get two veg :) Sane portion sizes are served, and leftovers go into the fridge for meals the next day. I can't contol what gets eaten outside my home, but no-one's getting an unhealthy meal from me :)

Mr. Mew got religion after our elders started having cardiac problems. His big problem now is exercise. I try to take walks with him and that helps. It's a lot more fun doing it together than alone. Maybe your hubby would prefer something other than the gym?

Consider changing gyms. A lot of gyms are in strip malls and the such, and have inadequate ventilation. They become breeding grounds for all sorts of nasty airborne infections. Then you throw in a lot of people breathing hard, and it is very easy to get a raging chest infection, when you never had one before.

A lot of good material to ponder in this article. My wife is beautiful, and I don't tell her that nearly enough...
