When I first started dating my husband about two years ago, he was very fit and slim. Over the course of our relationship and engagement, he was on the last year of school while working full time. He was stressed so he didn’t watch his diet carefully and he was working so hard he didn’t have time to go to the gym. He’s gained a good amount of weight and since we have been married (3 months), he has graduated and gotten a less stressful job. So now we go to the gym together a couple times a week and he is determined to lose the weight and go back to his old self. But for months, nothing in his weight has changed. The problem is he formed incredibly bad eating habits (for example, he eats little caesars every week) and I have been trying to make more healthy food around the house but I’m also working and in school, so we usually only have time for quick meals. I love hearing that he’s determined and wants to lose weight, but I’ve been hearing him say the same thing for months with no changes. I’ve been fine with his body, but hearing him talk about his weight loss goals all the time makes me realize I do kinda miss his old self. It’s difficult to know what to do because he’s a different person from me that I can’t control. My questions are: Have any of you been in a situation where you were able to help someone else lose weight? How can I convince him to improve his diet? (Every time I tell him it needs to be improved he seems to shrug it off) What are some of the best fat burning exercises we can do together at the gym? (Right now we swim laps, do lunges/squats, or lift weights) What kind of diets have worked best to lose weight? (He occasionally does intermittent fasting but is thinking of starting keto)
