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

We’ve been calling it the Covid 19 (as in gained 19 pounds!
)
I think when we first get married and feel settled down, it’s typical to get relaxed with eating unhealthy foods; like we’re on a long honeymoon. I know hy husband put on a little weight right away from my cooking vs his barely eating while single. It could also be partly the reasons mentioned earlier, he wants you to not be so attractive to other men or he just wants a buddy to eat with because it’s more fun.
