Its Like Im Supposed to Fix It.

[LadyKay]

My husband needs and wants to lose weight. But all he ever does is complain to me about. He tells me over and over he needs to lose weight. He even drags me into telling me I need to lose weight as well. Which I agree with but at less I am trying to do something about it , he just sits there and complains to me about being too fat? It is as if I am supposed to fix it for him. Because really that is what I do. I fix everything! But I can't fix this. This is something he has to do for himself. I have said to him, why don't you walk out to the mail box and get the mail. Or walk out to the end of the driveway and wait for the school bus with our daughter. But all he does is sit there. A friend of his bought him a 3 month gym membership. I told him I would go with him and work out with him. He wouldn't go. I love my husband and want to help him. But I'm not sure what to do here.

Put foot to ass, tell him you can't do it for him, he has to do it on his own. Take a walk with him but don't suggested it like you are trying to work out do it on the sly. At random say "Hey it's nice out let's go for a walk around the block and talk." Or you could tell him you want to go shopping at the mall and go walk around there for a half hour, it doesn't have to be the mall it could be somewhere else but get him out and moving... maybe that will motivate him a little.
