For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for February 24, 2011

He’s a doctor and he’s right. What was the answer you expected?

The correct answer was something along the lines of… “What weight? I don’t see that you’ve gained an ounce anywhere!”

John, just be glad she didn’t hold the pillow down. Remember, he!! hath no fury like a woman scorned or criticized.

John, remember with women you can never do right for doing wrong, it’s a no win situation!!

She needs reassurance. The thing to do is to reach over, give her a big hug, and tell her she is the most beautiful woman in the world to you and you wouldn’t want to change a thing.

Oh, and mean it whan you say it. No tongue in cheek or snippy, teasing stuff.

It works. And it’s the kind and loving thing to do.

You’re a nice person puppy.

Supersurfer…John is a dentist, isn’t he? What do they learn about body fat?

Aww. Poor pumpkin.

Lesson 769: Don’t show this cartoon to your wife!

I believe the quote is, “.hell hath no fury like a woman”.

He’s been married how long and he finally figured that out?

John is one of those guys who just can’t shut up LOL

Mornin’ Neighbours!

First of all, he’s a dentist, not a medical doctor. While he may have some insight into the human body, he’s certainly no expert. And even if he did know what he’s saying is true in Elly’s case, this is when he needs to be a supportive husband and not a babbling idiot.

Great answer puppybreath! You’re a bitter, angry guy, dugharry.

great post puppy

my hubby is the first to tell me he loves me just the way I am, no matter what size I am

it’s called love

“I’m bigger than you are, so I need more food each day just to maintain my weight. It’s the same with you and Michael; he’s smaller, so he doesn’t need as much food as you do.”

Depending on Ellie’s mood, it might or might not work, but at least it’s probably safe.

We women really have unrealistic views of our bodies. Society does not help with all the adds of the perfect bodied women. I guess nice to look at from a man’s brain…but most women are just not that physically perfect….anyway as long as your heart is in the right place …than who cares!

Metabolism, metabolism, metabolism.

Unfortunately, “society” (read: the fashion/fitness industry) has defined a “desirable” weight for women which is neither healthy for them nor attractive to men. But it is highly profitable, which is all that really matters anymore.

Thank God I’m married to someone more evolved than John! While I’m no longer overweight now, I’ve been thinner and I’ve been heavier and never at any point during my heavier days did my husband ever say anything that made me feel any worse about myself than I already did at the time. Even now, after 22 years of marriage, he still tells me how beautiful and perfect he thinks I am (just the way I am!) and that’s one of the many reasons why I’ll love him forever … he’s apparently as blind as a bat!!!!!

;-)

I’m in love with a man that tells me everyday that he loves me no matter what I look like. And I love him with his love handles and all. We respect each other. If I asked him that question he would simply say “I don’t know baby….but it doesn’t matter to me ‘cause your sexy to me all the time.”

At 73, I am pretty much the same weight now as I was at 20, but I don’t have it arranged the same in spite of an abundance of exercise- and I don’t expect that. I still think it’s OK and I accept myself as I am and have no insecurities.

I call it being an “easy keeper” – a term I heard on a llama farm for an animal that doesn’t eat much, but stays plump. :D
