I was previously heavier at 90kilograms but I didn't look very big. He told me at the time that he liked it. And that he liked my body.

But recently I have lost weight. He told me I have done okay but to not gain anymore weight. But to lose more if I can. Even though I am feeling sick from lack of food. My medication is what keeps myle chubby. So I have to eat very little just to lose weight.

I said "I thought you told me you liked my fatter body?" He told me "I was just trying to be nice. I'm not a mean person. But I didn't like your old body. But this one it bust my head!" I felt really upset by this. So I asked him if he was still attracted to me back then and he said "yes" and I asked if he would leave me if I gained more weight. And he said he would never leave me if I'm skinny or fat. I asked him again why he said he didn't like my old body, and he told me he "never said that" πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ€¦ after he got super excited about my new body for another 20mins, he told me to stop bringing it up and that he needed to get some rest.

So I let it go. But part of me still feels hurt. Feels self conscious.

My husband is igbo and lives in Owerri and I am a white westerner. So maybe I am misunderstanding or the cultures are clashing here?
Oh i sincerely pity women who must go through that kind of stress to please their husbands. As a man, i will never insist on such punishment for my wife just to satisfy my lust or feeling. If my wife is fat or thin , i better learn to love her the way she is. She is mine and let her be healthy and happy the way she is amd good.

Madam....long story short... STOP GAINING WEIGHT. SHIKENA. You are lucky your husband was trying to be nice by initially telling you in a modest way.
No reasonable man out there likes a fat woman as a wife. I use the word fat because I see a lot of obese ladies out there deceiving themselves with made up words like ...thick, plum, chubby. But the truth is that they are FAT

An a man so let of speak to you about the nine of your husband he loves you and does not want to cheat on you. The slim ladies are pleasant to most men so he wants his to be like that. Advice, use green vegetable juice to support your medication. Your body inflames so you need organic anti inflammetary enzymes. Most white peoples body inflame when on medication.

It's just one of the paradox of being a man, at least a Nigerian man. Two things can be right at the same time but I understand that it often leaves the females insecure.

I can draw from a personal experience. GF was chubby but had a flat tommy which I found fascinating. 6 months down the line, GF has the same body weight but tommy beginning to get bigger, an observation I raised which led to a very similar argument you had with hubby. If you love me then, does it mean you love me less now?

My response is however similar to your husband(just so you know it's not your husband making things up). Do I prefer her with flat tommy, yes. Does it mean I love her less now, absolutely not. Like I said, it's a paradox, and two things can be true at the same time. but I get that the female brain works very differently, they want assurance and very straight talks.

Verdict. He likes you before just as much as he likes you now. However, it's better you drop the weight as that's what he prefers. But eat up, you can use exercise instead to lose weigh. I will never support you guys idea of starving to lose weight.

He's seeing baddies and mentally comparing them to you. Probably cheating on you physically, not just mentally.

Forget what your husband said, 90 kg (approximately 200lbs) is a lot of weight to be carrying around with you. Consider your own health and mortality in this and not all that other stuff. The mortality age in Nigeria for both men and women remains around 57-59 and obesity is a known killer. So why not use the opportunity to work on yourself.. undecided

As for being sick from eating little, I am not certain what you mean by that. The average adult needs about 1650 calories a day to function. To loose weight, you simply need to eat less than that on a relatively regular basis. For instance, if you wanted to loose a pound a week, you need to eat approximately 1200 calories each day which is just about 400 calories less than you require. Eating just that less would not make you sick unless you already have underlying illness for which you definitely need to see a doctor for. undecided

P.s. if your husband is himself overweight, use the opportunity to call his attention to his own weight problem so he too can get to loosing the weight abeg!

But talking of weight there's actually nothing beneficial or cool about obesity the risks outweigh the benefits in astronomical ways
Once BMI goes beyond 25kg/m2 it's best you start to watch your weight and begin to lose it

Why are you making an issue of this? You that is talking, don't you like yourself better now that you have lost weight? Truth is being fat is not attractive. Some people are confident and carry it off well but still, having a healthy weight is always better.

your husband acted how a husband should act, there are times when you have to edit the truth to fan the ego of those you love. He might like your old body, but likes this one more, why are you feeling hurt because he is truthful and direct with you? HE IS YOUR HUSBAND AND NOT YOUR BOYFRIEND. if he never found you attractive why did he marry you in the first place? Nothing good ever comes from being obese or overweight.
