kuwait obesity

[Mystique]

I think obesity is very commn in the gulf, especially among women of middle and upper classes.. I visited Oman this summer and found the lifestyle of women very lazy. they dont go to university and have a servant to do the house chores. Genetics can be a factor on how easily you succumb to obesity.

^ gulf people use to be thin as indian villagers only some 50 years ago because they use to do all the work themselves in the sun, now the lifestyle has totally turned upside down. Unfortunately laziness is not looked as a bad thing in that part of the world

first of all, it's very difficult to love or respect a man who is acting like a woman or a child. Stop throwing tantrums.
Secondly, she could be keeping you at your current diet and herself on different because she doesn't want you to leave her for someone else. And kids like eating fattening food instead of what she eats.
Thirdly, you do not die from having an unhealthy lunch and dinner twice a day as long as you stay away from ice cream, doughnuts and other junk food through out the day or bother yourself a bit and go to gym.

Last but not least, have you tried pouting??

First of all, I appreciate your kind advice except I would ask that you not mock me on the side. The last thing I want is to be mocked. As Kakargirl mentioned, processed food unhealthy as is. It is loaded with trans-fat and saturated fat--the kinds of fats that clog arteries. Those are NOT healthy for me OR my children. In fact, I may be able to gain custody of them if I am able to prove she is feeding my children and I such food when I have documented heart problems. That is, when she does feel like cooking at all. I am NOT throwing tantrums. I am concerned for the health of my arteries. And yes, it does kill. Maybe you should read up on it because the leading cause of death in my country is cardiovascular disease. I refuse to eat bacon and eggs every morning and hotdogs, frozen french-fies and pot-pies, etc. for lunch and dinner. By the way, if you continue to mock me, I will no longer respond to you. I am not stupid and I realize when someone is mocking me.

i don't think it's very nice of a grown up to be bashing his spouse in front of a bunch of strangers. Whether she does deserve it or not..

Excuse me, but where am I bashing her? Now you are just making things up. I just care about the health of my children and I. How is that bashing? And it's not as though you know who she is. I just want to explain my troubles and let them off my chest. I was also considering remarrying.

By the way, I am healthy; it's just that my cholesterol and triglycerides went up due to the unhealthy food. After my dieting, everything is normal much to the chagrin of my wife. So I don't want to confuse folks.

you should marry a Pakistani lady this time. They are such good cooks. Some got so inspired last year that they ended up cooking their husbands.

That's it, I've had it. Apologize or you're on my ignore list. I am trying to be polite and get along for the sake of the holiday spirit, but you all are making this hard for me.

I don't want to sound mean but if your troubles are affecting your normal life then it would be wise to seek counselling rather than typing them here and expecting comfort.

Counselor? Not in this economy and while getting laid off from my job.
