If my husband complained about not getting enough sex and told me to loose weight I would have a hard time doing either also.
Sex and loosing weight are both mental issues for women. We need to be mentally in the mood to have sex and when we are mentally depressed we eat. Maybe your wife is depressed.

It sounds as though you are doing your best to help your wife loose weight but its just not working. It is very hard to help a person if they dont want it. Or maybe she does want help, but is having a hard time talking to you about it. If I was given an ultimatum to either loose weight or no more children I would find it very difficult to approach any subject with my spouse without a feeling of bitterness.

When I got pregnant with my 2nd I was on bedrest for 4 months before I had her. I gained at least 50lbs. I followed the weigh watchers plan and lost all of it and even another 20. I couldnt have done it without my husbands help. I would do the grocery shopping and plan what we should eat and he would cook it.
Does your wife want to loose weight? Does she complain about her looks? Shes started working out. Thats great. Do you workout with her?
