I’m a 24 year old married woman and my husband is 29. I have two small daughters, and due to the daily rush I ended up gaining some weight. My husband is not happy about it. He complains and says I have to lose weight. When I eat, he inspects what I’m eating to see if it’s healthy… It’s hard for me to be a wife and a mother, to work at the church, be an entrepreneur, and still have to lose weight.  I want to please my husband, but the more he complains the more I end up gaining weight. Plus I still have to take care of my house! It’s a war… What should I do? – Natalia

Natalia thank God that your husband is trying to take care of you in this way. Things could be very different. Appreciate his care. Stop looking for justifications on why you are gaining weight. Every excuse serves as another reason for you to continue in the wrong. Don’t accept the excuses anymore. Do what has to be done, first of all towards God, because your body is His temple, then for yourself, and then for your husband. The fact that you are not even doing this for your husband shows that you and God are way below in the list of priorities. And your husband is even lower than that…

I would like to reply to all your questions, but it’s not possible. I published this one in order to help others, but I won’t always be able to answer specific questions. But when we write our messages here, we have people’s problems in mind. That’s why, I’m sure that if you use this blog as a learning tool you will find the answers to many questions—like Natalia could have, if she had read this post.
