I just don’t want you to be unrealistic and too idealistic about how you expect yourself to look as you approach 50s. I am sure you present yourself well and it’s just as important as being thin.
Having said that, of course you should be in charge of her own food intake. Your husband shouldn’t have a say in what you eat. You deserve to be happy with your life: your job, your marriage and your looks. Change what you can change and accept what you cannot change. Some things we can’t change like we will never look 30 no matter if we remain skinny or not
It’s been hard to keep weight off during pandemics. Sitting home and gyms are closed and up until now it’s been too cold to work out outside. I think we all gain weight now

I agree fully. I will work on the things I do have control over:: what I eat and how much I eat; my job... I can get another; my husband.. I can tell him what I need and want, which I feel is important to do in relationships. He’s being much better since I told him I was angry that he is of no help with my diet.
Yes aging sucks and I know my metabolism has changed. But my goal is to put on my bikinis this summer at some point and to feel good about how I look, regardless. I’m getting up the determination to lose this damned weight. Only just a few years ago I still looked great for my age. I want to feel that way again.
