40free,

I never joke. You've just got to take action. Knowing will come later. You might as well clean up those armpits while you're at it. For now, just consider it a 180.

You see, I grew up with two sisters. I know what I'm doing. My oldest sister was a little weight obsessed; sometimes she wouldn't eat much when we were having supper. My mom would talk to her and calm her down and let her know that she wasn't fat (she truly wasn't fat). After that, little doodler would say to his sister, "Hey fatty, can you pass the salt?" Everything my mother had done was totally blown out of the water. That anecdote is an example of the mindset you need to have.

You need to anticipate situations that will arise with your wife. For example, if she says , "I feel so fat today," then you respond with "You're not fat you just look fat." You have to remain on top of the situation otherwise she might start thinking that you want to have her around.
