Very, very touchy situation. Of course, you know your wife better than anyone, but I tend to think of the direct (but very tactful!) approach. If your marriage is a strong one, then you will have a way to simply give her your opinion. But tactfulness/consideration is of the utmost importance.

Ask her to go jogging with you.

Give her a Jenny Craig gift. This program works! ...and my wife loves their food.

Weaken her chair so that it breaks next time she sits on it.

Keep doing this untill she gets the point.

gift her an awesome undersized piece of cloth and motivate her on making it fit.

A friend of mine dealt with this very tactfully. When she asked if she should buy a particular dress, he said

"If you can get it over those hips!"

Although, if you're serious, the first question is: who does most of the cooking?
If it's you, that makes it easier.

netflix forks over knives, or fat, sick and nearly dead

If that doesnt do it, deal.

If you seriously think you're capable of doing most of it, that also helps a lot.

Give her a hug. Then tell her you like her "new" body. The worst insult is a compliment you don't want

!
But seriously though, just keep feeding her!!

call her "tubby"

by **jonesthecurl** on Fri Jul 27, 2012 11:36 pm

or "PhatMrsScotty"

You disagree, I take it?

I actually have no idea what this means.

I had much the same reaction.
O - and Phatty, did you just wind this thread up and set it down, or will we hear your opinions?

[note to self: you appear to be asking PScot to give an opinion. This is a first - get a checkup from the neck up]

How fat is too fat? Is it just you or is she really fat?
Also, should you have mentioned it sooner?

by **notyou2** on Sat Jul 28, 2012 10:28 am

Replace all the mirrors with circus mirrors that make her look even fatter.

You lost the battle when you married some chick so sorry if I can't drum up any sympathy that you have to have sex with some out of shape troll. Never get married and more importantly for the love of god don't have kids.

Oh good, I'm not the only one. Hey AA, eh?

by **daddy1gringo** on Thu Aug 02, 2012 7:52 am

Double-post:
Looking at it again, I'm guessing that "Forks Over Knives" and "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead" are the names of two (obscure) movies about fat people and/or losing weight, and AA is recommending ordering them from Netflix, or "Netflix-ing" them. Amuhrite?
