She Told Her Husband The Reason He’s Not Losing Weight Is That He’s Lying To His Nutrition Coach, And He Accused Her Of Fat Shaming Him
There are so many people on this planet who are overweight and struggle with weight loss greatly.
While a good number of them may be suffering from health issues that cause weight gain, many of them may just struggle to change their bad habits.
A woman recently argued with her husband after telling him that his habits were the reason he wasn’t losing weight, not his metabolism.
She and her husband have been together for quite a while, and over the years, he put on a bunch of weight.
Although she still loves and is attracted to him, she wants him to be as healthy as he can be and is ready to support him in his weight loss journey.
“He really does want to lose weight, and I can see it impacting his self-esteem,” she said.
“He got on a program with exercise and nutrition coaching, [which] seemed like an amazing idea.”
She was looking forward to her husband having a coach who could tell him everything he was doing right and wrong so that she wouldn’t have to do it anymore.
Unfortunately, her husband has been doing everything his coaches told him not to.

He continues to eat sweets and rich foods and drinks alcohol without logging any of it in his food journals or counting the calories. Instead, he only records his healthy food throughout the day and tells his coaches that’s all he’s eating.
Additionally, her husband skips several exercise days, usually because he’s too tired from work or is hungover from drinking too much.
“He started the program two months ago and has seen little to no results,” she explained.
“He is now affirmed in his belief that it’s just his metabolism. I told him his coaches can’t help him if he’s lying to them. This struck a nerve, and he’s been upset with me ever since.”
Her husband started defending himself, making excuses, and telling her that if their roles were reversed, he would be accused of fat-shaming her.
She doesn’t intend to shame him. However, she wants to stop him from wasting money on a program he won’t follow or use honestly.
“He said I emasculated him, and I don’t mean to do that at all,” she added.
“I love my husband and want him to be honest with himself when achieving his goals if achieving them would make him happy.”
Do you think she did anything wrong, or should she continue to push her husband to take his weight loss program more seriously?
