One of the girls at work is really starting to put on the weight and it's starting to get to her. She went through a breakdown last year and is now on cymbalta. It has helped the emotional problems, but she has easily put on 30 pounds. She's done weight watchers in the past and says she just needs to get back on it. I understand how difficult it is to make that first step. Any suggestions on how I can kick start her in the right direction without over stepping?
she admitted to me last night that her husband has been calling her fat and unattractive. He's kinda a chauvinist pig IMO! She is 50 and has 2 kids in college and a daughter in middle school. they've been together for a long time, but she is thinking about asking him to move out until he figures out how to behave and not be so mean. He doesn't drink and he works and is very involved in politics and the church, but he's just not nice to his wife. He answers the phone "what now?!?!" when she calls and spends the weekends at the lease hunting or playing golf. She's just a nuisance to him I guess. Ass hole!

Sorry for the tangent. Any suggestions?

He sounds just like my co-workers husband (not the bald woman, the one who just had a baby). He treats her like complete shit and in front of their 3 year old son, which is SOO not cool. He's a nice person, goes to church, puts his immediate family first, but a total a-hole to his wife.

Anyway, as for the weight... has she tried exercising??

For the excersising part - maybe you 2 could find a time to work out together?

Sounds like that couple needs counceling. The husband in particular.

I wonder if she would be up to walking with me a few times a week. I need the exercise too. She's in counseling, but he refuses to go. JERK!

Yep - that sounds like a marriage with problems. If you phrase it as YOU need someone to kick you in the rear, that might avoid her from feeling insulted or some such.
