Hello

I need prayers to be released with my obsession with my wifes weight problem. It's all I think about to the point of thinking about ending the marriage of 26 years.

thanks

ernie j

Okay, Ernie, it's me again! I'm touching and agreeing w/you that this issue once surrendered wholeheartedly to our Good Lord above will indeed restore the love and affection once felt! To God Be the Glory! You're in my prayers! God Bless!

Well this is a choice for you, but you can either be miserable over her weight or you can learn to love her for who she is. Her appearance is only one piece of the pie.

Have you told her what clothes, outfits and lingerie make her look best to you? If she tried to look her best for you even with the weight problem it might help you understand that she does want you to be attracted to her, but losing weight can be very hard.

Just some ideas to help you out. You might be surprised what happens if you say I like it when you wear...

ebj,

Dear Lord,
I pray for the obsessional thoughts that are ruminating in this H's brain to cease. Give him hope that the torment will end. I Jesus Name, Amen.

I don't know your history but could there be any underlying medical problem that is contributing to these ruminating thoughts. Have you been checked by a physcian? I would get checked out if you have not before. Many W are not happy with their weight. Has your W tried to lose it? I am a weight watcher member and tried to drop my weight myself. I just couldn't do it! With Weight Watchers I lost 30 lbs sin Jan 2002. And I am keeping it off. My guess is she is not happy with her weight either. Am I right? Let me know, LW
