Great responses from everyone, thanks. She and I talked about it a bit and she has some self-esteem issues so things go deeper than her being effected by my comment. To be honest even as I said it I knew I was on thin ice. I was just so tired of hearing her (for months) talk about being fat and wanting to lose weight but not doing anything about it and she didn't seem to be buying my usual response any way so out popped horrible honesty. Won't make that mistake again. We've talked about working out together but my gym is by my office (a fortyfive minute drive away) and I work out at a long lunch or after work. We bought a weight bench for home, I even got tghose crappy butterfly attachment things for her since she said she needed them but she hasn't touched it. We also have a spin bike but it sits unsed. I'm hoping to start going on walks in the evening soon. The weather is getting nice and it will be a bit of exercise plus more quality time together. BTW, she has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do so I know she can muster up discipline, she just needs motivation or something. Either way I'd like to see her happy as she is or if not change something to find that happiness. I'll love her no matter what.
