My husband brought home a lingerie catalog and told me he wanted me to lose 2 inches off my waist. How do I?
I figured i would ask this question to see what the married women on here do to lose inches for their husbands. I am already pretty thin but he saw this really pretty lady in lingerie that had a small waist size and he said he wanted me to look like that. I guess since I had my baby I still haven't shed all the weight, though most of it I have. What's the best way I can lose these inches so I can make my husband very happy? He said he would even buy me that lingerie if i trimmed my waistline :)

- Stomach crunches should help
- If he doesn't like you as you are, I think you have bigger problems. Don't lose weight for anyone but yourself.
- ask him if he still fits into his high school clothing.......people change. he needs to grow up
- ARE YOU SERIOUS????? HAVE SOME SELF RESPECT AND ESTEEM - WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT FOR A MAN?? WHAT HAPPENED TO UNCONDITIONAL LOVE? ASK HIM TO ADD TWO INCHES TO HIS PENIS.... AND A POUND TO HIS BRAIN
- oh my.... first of all, is HIS tummy as thin as yours? doubt it. second, if he loves you, why should he be so critical of your looks? third, if you had a kid, shouldn't you be happy to have your kid and not care so much how it changes your looks? i mean i'd understand more if you gained a lot of weight, but it sounds like you didn't gain very much. makes him sound shallow.
- Go Away! Get professional help! Stop with all of this make believe nonsense! For other Yahoo answerers, read her other questions - don't waste any serious energy on her fantasy issues.
- You can get some exercise videos or get one of those jogging strollers if the kid is still young and strap them in and go jogging. You could also try portion control or join a weight loss club like Jenny Craig or something. But it just sounds weird that he would want you to look like someone in a magazine. She's not you and he's not with her so he shouldn't be trying to make you look like some ideal he saw in a magazine. Just me talking yah don't have to listen.
- I would ask him if hes is going to gain the two inches in a choice place
- he is a stupid azz, i would never tell my wife that
- You're not offended by this? I'm sure the lingerie he wants comes in many sizes. Tell him to lose two inches off HIS waist. That's just not fair. He should be doing his best to make you feel like the wonderful mother, wife, woman that you are. No matter what your waist measurement is. Be proud of who you are and what you look like not only for your own wellbeing but as an example to your children in the future.
- TOO BAD YOUR HUBBY CAN'T BE SATISFIED WITH THE WAY YOU ARE... IF YOUR REALLY NEED TO MAKE HIM HAPPY BY LOSING 2" JUMP ON THE TREADMILL 2X A DAY. THAT'S NOT EVEN ANYTHING TOO LOSE. THINK ABOUT YOUR MARRIAGE...SERIOUSLY...HE SHOULD BE HAPPY WITH OR WITHOUT THE 2'"
- I'd return the favor and hand him a calender of Chip-n-Dales and tell him when is he going to improve his looks to look like Mr. February?
- thats cow feces.................dont do crap for him............u be happy with u.............that aint right................u make sure he knows that that's unfair................
- DONT WORRY YOU WILL LOOSE ENOUGH WEIGHT CHASING HIS @$$ DOWN THE STREET WITH A STICK. OH YEAH DONT FORGET TO TELL HIM THAT YOU SAW A PENIS IN A CATOLOG THE WAS LARGER THAN HIS AND YOU WOULD LIKE HIM TO MAKE HIS PENIS BIGGER THAN THE ONE IN THE CATALOG.
- How much does your husband way? Find out and lose that much. You dont need to be treated like a object. If your marriage is based on apearence then dont bother waiting till his midlife crisis for him to cheat on you with a younger women. You can lose all the wait, you cant stop getting old and if thats what he is about he will cheat on you anyway.
- Here is a very quick way to loose all your dead weight...loose him.
- honey you just do sit ups twice aday im a petite mom of three and if you saw me you wouldnt believe and im 37 sit ups is the magic trick trust me 20 at night 20 in the morning in5 weeks the man will be knocked off his seat and then you feed him the treat!!!!
- How many inches has your husband gained since he married you? If your husband really loved you, he would NEVER ask you something like that!
- I can tell you how to loose 40 inches at least...................................... Dump his A$$.
- Kickboxing is great, try it on him. I'm sure after a few jabs in his chin and a few kicks in his stomach he'll think your tummy is perfect just the way it is!
- Im sorry but THAT WAS SOOO UGLY OF HIM TO SAY THAT TO YOU. What is he thinking to all of a sudden come home and say (Paraphrased)" honey i brought this lingerie book home and i really want you to wear this stuff but i think youre a little to fat to wear it now, so could you lose some weight so i can get what i want and not care about your feelings at all"? I would tell him, "if it wont look good on me now the way that i look, maybe it will look better on you. So take that magazine and shove it up your ***" Miss ,i dont know you but, im sure youre beautiful just the way you are!
- To get rid of the 2" you could just cut loose the ball and chain around them. Over my dead body would I loose any amount of weight because my husband bribed me! Love is not a number. Lust may be, tho. The only way I would choose to lose weight is if I chose to get healty (which is for damned sure what he should be concerned about) and feel better about myself. What a jerk. If I were to do something good for myself, like get healthy, I'd buy myself the lingerie! Hmmmm, what would he do for you? Quid pro quo honey. THAT is what marriage is about.
- workout 15 minutes everyday particularly crunches
- Little Angel are you for real?? Don't let your hubby treat you like that by saying you need to lose weight!! He is criticising you saying you are not good enough the way you are just say to him if he loses 2 inches of weight of his waist he can tell you how to do it & then maybe (just maybe ) you will do like wise!! NOT & then ask him not to talk like that to you anymore
- I would tell him to get f**ked.. if nobody likes me the way i am, there loss!
- Man he has some BIG Balls to say that. I would not even THINK of saying that to my wife....unless I wanted to die! LOL Well I think that you should go get a catalog with men's stuff in it and say " Gee hon if you lost that tool 24 pack and got a 6 pack you sure would look good in that leopard skin G string" If you are happy with your body don't let him make you feel bad about it. If you want to lose the weight for YOU then that is different. Don't forget that as we age....and especially after having a baby a women's body changes. And I am sure that HIS body has change too....and if not yet....it will trust me *S*. Best of luck
- Why should you change for him? You can lose the weight, and shrink your waistline, doesn't mean you'll keep him happy. Anytime I tried to change for anyone, they ended up leaving eventually. Be who you are, enjoy your beauty, make him accept you for who you are a beautiful and wonderful person. Hey, does he have a beer belly, has he lost some of his hair? We change as we get older... don't even think about changing for him.
- First of all, I'd clock him upside his damn head and say if you don't love me for who I am then you can just go kiss off.
- Well, first of all I think that you took that very well, if my husband came home and told me to lose 2 inches because he was attracted to someone else in a magazine I would of kicked him to the curb. If he really loves you as his wife, then he should never have said that to you, that was very ignorant and arrogant of him. I am sorry but why should you change for him to make him happy? You are still the person that he married and you just had a baby I can't believe that you would even consider this for him. I am sorry if I sound a bit harsh, but I just feel that was an insult to you.
- This is so sad. He should love you as you are the mother of his child. our body changes year after year. You can be sexy no matter what size you are. The sexiness is in how you carry yourself with confidence and what you do with that confidence. you could be 400 pounds or more and still be sexy.
- Tell him to gain 2 inches on his dic
- Read your other questions...you need serious psychiatric treatment...you are sick
- You should stop eating so much and exercise more. It is your responsibility to look your best for your husband, you should be ashamed that he had to tell you to lose the weight.
- this question isn't nearly as weird as others. seems very plausable. if this were a real relationship, i'd advise ditching it. a husband shouldn't have so many baby mommas and shouldn' think that he can control you. my gosh, i don't know what it says about me that i have the time to answer pointless questions! i suppose it's like watching a car crash, you can't help but look and try to find out what has happened...
- To answer your question...If you want to lose weight drink make your own brewed green tea everyday. Don't buy it made already. Start jogging everyday. Good Luck Are your questions real or for entertainment purposes?
- So you are not overweight or anything, he just wants you to fit this idea of perfection he saw in a magazine? I think you should turn round and show him a picture of a guy with an amazing six pack. Then tell him you want him to get one of those and if he does, you might buy him some sexy Calvin Klein undies! Honestly, if you start trying to please your husband in this very superficial way, he will find more things to pick on. You have to nip this in the bud and put a stop to it. Tell him, you are happy how you are.....you've lost weight, you are feeling good about yourself and you are healthy, that is what matters and he should be happy with you how you are. If he doesn't like it, well he knows where the door is...............................
- get your lazy butt off the computer and stop making up untrue questions and get a job, your just lazy and stupid
