Wife has gained weight, how do I tell her?

The Question:

How do you let your wife know that she gained a few pounds, without her getting upset? I bought a box of Special K cereal and low fat milk.
I even bought a new digital bathroom scale, I haven’t shown that to her yet…. What would be the best way to tell her that she is getting chubby?

My Response:

Dear Special K;

I think going around it and just starting to eat healthy with her is a good way to do it. Telling her she got a “little chubby” will probably hurt her feelings and start an argument. Why don’t you tell her that you feel that the two of you should start eating healthier and working out together, perhaps if you motivate her and get on a diet with her then she will start loosing a few pounds. Make it sound like you are the one who wants to loose the weight but you want her to participate with you. Never and I say NEVER, tell a women she’s “getting chubby”. Unless the women admits you should still just encourage her and remind her that she is still beautiful and that you love her the way she is. Unfortunately women are very sensitive on the subject, so just go about it the way you have been doing, and start eating healthy together and working out together, this way you too get in shape with your wife.
