I have tried various ways to tell Mrs that she has a growth up front over the last month.

Touching a bulge and saying "coming along nicely darling"--- ends up with ---
WHAT? do you mean:Eeek:


She asks , last week do I look ok in this --"it looks a bit tight darling" I said,--------" Oh OK , rub it in , don`t you." she said

I want to help and suggest being overweight is no good for anyone , but how:Eeek:
Is there a way without me being the enemy:cry:

When out for a meal, if she had eaten too much she would use the phrase "my eyes are bigger than my belly"

I would often assure here they were not.:ROFLMAO:

She doesnt say it anymore, but they still not bigger.:ROFLMAO:

Just put yourself in her shoes ,when she's being honest and complaining about your snoring,farting,drinking,untidiness etc does she hold back ?
I doubt it ,tell her how it is ,after all they want us to feel we can talk to them about anything. :winky:
If your too scared keep asking her about water retention! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Look, your not going to win, get your will wrote out, put your affairs in order and prepare to die !!


But to be fair, many people can put on weight easily and have bother losing it. Have you a dog ? Walking a dog can be great exercise. Maybe if you don't have a dog AND HAVE A LIFESTYLE WHERE YOU CAN LOOK AFTER A DOG, you could suggest to her that you fancy a dog and that you could both take it for walks.

Or, look at the type of food you are both eating, if it is food which helps weight gain, you could say to her that in view of the recent news stories about "wrong" food, that YOU fancy eating more healthy food and would she fancy eating the same.

Just be honest, when a woman says 'does this dress make me look fat',
reply with 'no dear, your fat makes you look fat'......

And then run!

Sheila is quite slim, but often she will ask "does my bum look big in this"?

I usually answer quite tactfully and point out that in relation to the sub-continent of India, it's actually quite modest in size. For some unknown reason, she seems to find this offensive, not sure why ?

Absolutely not! She would gain another lb per day per cruise statistics and I can vouch for that. Ive just completed 2 cruises in 2 months and put on 1 stone 2 lbs...OUCH!!
You need to make her think its her idea to slim!

Just tell her you overheard someone say she was fat, or you could keep making comments everytime you see a slim female. Along the lines of remember when you where that size. :ROFLMAO:

Listen up ladies, below is how it REALLY is.....
1. If you think you might be fat, you are. Don’t ask us. Just get your arse down the gym.
2. Learn to work the toilet seat: if it’s up, don’t moan, just put the bloody thing down.
3. Don’t cut your hair. Ever. It causes unnecessary arguments when we dare to comment on it.
4. Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not quests to see if we can find the perfect present... again.
5. Sometimes, we’re not thinking about you. Live with it.
6. Saturday = Sports. Let it be.
7. Shopping is not a sport.
8. Anything you wear is fine. Really !!!.
9. Ask for what you want directly. Subtle hints don’t work.
10. Face it, peeing standing up is more difficult than peeing from point blank range. we’re bound to miss sometimes.
11. Most blokes own two to three pairs of shoes, so what makes you think
we‘d be any good at choosing which pair, out of thirty of yours, would look good with that particular dress?
12. ‘Yes’, ‘No’ and ‘Mmm’ are perfectly acceptable answers.
13. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor..
14. Your Mum doesn’t have to be our best friend.
15. Check your oil. It is an essential part of car maintenance.
16. The relationship is never going to be like it was the first two months we were going out.
17. Anything we said 6 or 8 months ago doesn’t count in today’s argument.
18. It’s not the dress that makes you look fat. It’s your fat that makes you look fat!
19. Telling us that the models in the men’s magazines are airbrushed makes
you sound jealous and petty and it’s certainly not going to stop us from reading them.
20. The male models with great bodies you see in magazines are all gay.
21. If something we said could be taken two ways, and one of these ways makes you angry, we meant the other one.
22. Let us ogle. If we don’t look at other women, how can we rate how pretty you are?
23. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during the commercial breaks.
24. When we are in bed & look tired this means that we are tired & definitely does not mean that we want to discuss the relationship.
25. If you want some dessert after a meal - have some. Don’t say “No, I
couldn’t/shouldn’t/don’t want any” and then eat half of mine.
26. Dieting doesn’t work without exercise.
27. If you’re on a diet it doesn’t mean my meals should be rabbit food as well.
28. A man’s four essential food groups are: white meat, red meat, warm beer & cold lager.
Please ensure all meals contain a good balance of the above in acceptable quantities everything else falls under the category ‘garnish’.
29. We really do have this thing about asking strangers for directions, but we don’t mind you doing it for us.
30. If you can learn the above, then man and woman can co-exist on a level based on love and mutual respect.:thumb:

Was a newbie, now a Middie.
You see, your all missing the point!! You have to be SUBTLE! And, you have to pick the right time. Dr Toot will show you how.

So, you suddenly jump up and say, "Darling, (you don't have to mean it), my little bundle of alpine moss, (Yea, I know, but just play along), There's something I have been dying to say to you for AGES...........


YOU DONT SWEAT MUCH FOR A FAT LASS!!

Problem solved. You have managed to get the message over with feeling.

You can always be really nice afterwards, and offer to run her, the dog, the suitcases, and the 16 packets of kleenex, round to her mums...........:thumb::thumb::thumb:

Start looking at new motorhomes. If she asks why, just say you think you might need one with a bigger payload.....

Either buy yourselves two gym memberships and tell her you need to tone your stomach and want her to come along

alternatively

just be up front and honest with her.

She is totally well aware of how big she is getting - believe me

alternatively tell her she doesnt want to end up like Gail seriously :thumb::thumb::thumb: and then if she wants to know more PM me

Just show her this thread ! You have now told every man and his dog she is a bit of a lump.
That should do the trick ! Forget about ever using your testicles again though.
