how about ' get a life mate'

Would you rather she ignored you completely and played on the ipad all day? She loves you and she wants to make you happy, so be happy man. On the other hand she might just be bored to death, maybe you should find her a hobby, or open a restaurant and make her the chef. Maybe she enjoys cooking mate?

It sounds better than those slimy 99 Baht breakfasts.

My wife is conspiring to kill me in the exact same way.....cruel and unusual treatment

cancel your life insurance and be thankful you don't live in Papua New Giunea or maybe you would be net on the menu

like some others on here first couple of years with the wife and the food and the beers added about 15kg and 6 inches to my waistline. I don't know how they do it, it's like a magic trick my wife is 42kg I am 100 and she eats me under the table that's without, as you say, all the snacking in between the meals. Once I got back in shape I stayed off the piss, cut back on the sticky rice and stayed away from the oily, salty stuff as best I could. I still eat with the missus and the family but I am just very aware of how much I am consuming... which sucks because the family never gains an inch. Oh and getting older doesn't help the metabolism much either

She's doing it so you will be unattractive to other women.

A mate of mine had the same problem. When he objected to the quantities of food being put in front of him, the wife spat the dummy, and asked him if he wanted to remain slim so he could chase women - go figure !

@ Gecko - What are you ? A man or a goldfish ? Just eat everything she puts in front of you to prove your insane love for her, and work off the extra kilos you put on in the bedroom ! You will be better off for it, and she will love you even more. And keeping her in the bedroom keeps her out of the kitchen.

Gecko admit it!

Your real concern is how much she's spending on toilet rolls.

My gf is an excellent cook, and originally I gained weight fast.

Have her make some brown rice and cut out all the deep fried food. Start going on walks with her. It makes the women feel secure when you get fat no one will want you.

It because you too hansum man; try no shower tree four day, stinky poo, no brush hair, long dirty toenails - you soon slim man. But no more hansum.

Get a very large dog and put a cap on the common food budget.

My wife is a great cook Thai style....She has me down 12k....she is up 3k.....the Thais don't seem to have set times and graze through the day....at our house we have 3 meals and sit at the table....but sometimes it seems the munching . Fruit mostly is fair game any time...like candy to them....at MIL even though they have a table everything they do is on a free and easy schedule and left up to whoever wants whatever whenever....your wife is seeing after you the best she can - her way of loving you...mine has said she wants me a little heavier because my face is fuller....but I think it's OK where I am....

tell her you prefer sex and she might screw you to death LOL

Yep me to my wife cooks for me and her 2 son

only we live in saudi her 2 son are in thailand

we end up with big portions and big bellys

I was pretty much a fitness buff most of my life. At the age of 60 I was still wearing the same size clothes as I did at 18. My days started off with a 5k run, hit the gym 3 times a week, martial arts for 2 hours, 5 days a week. Move to LOS and my life got turned upside down. My wife had previously owned a large restaurant, and is an excellent cook, and had to "prove it" to me. Finally had to sit her down and explain nutrition to her. Took the better part of 2 hours, but she finally understood. Now she cooks my food separately from hers, and limits the portions to what is acceptable to me. And, unlike a lot (maybe most) Thai women, she likes for me to look my best. She smiles with pride when she tells people my age and how "hansum and sexy" I look.

Then I got hit with a stroke and the body went to crap. 6 months before I could walk again, so that pretty much killed my morning runs. lol. After the stroke, she sat down with the doctor for over an hour and got a list of which foods I should and should not eat, and she sticks to that. Next week we're visiting a couple of fitness centers and looking for a good personal trainer to help me recover even more. She tells me she has to help me get better so I can buy new 500cc CBR and start taking my road trips again. Gotta love it! We figure by June I'll be ready for that, so here's hoping.

As for the OP, try explaining to her that you take pride in the way you look, and that you want to be a "hansum man" for her, so that other women are jealous of how lucky she is. Tell her that you want to look your best for her so she can show you off with pride. Explain to her that you are doing it for her and she'll accept it better.

Too much food? Wife/husband too attractive? Bored because your employer gives you too much time off? There's a place you can complain about that!

She is prepping you up, once you are ready, you will be sold by the kilo.

It's an Asian thing, not restricted to Thailand. Chinese are notorious feeders, and if you say'enough', the host/ess asks if there is something wrong with his/her food.

Seems that you have a good wife right there. Maybe she somehow feels indebted to you and has nothing to give you or compare to what you coming into your life has done for her EXCEPT COOK!

Take advantage of this and open a cart so she can offer her food to many others...tell her to fill the bank account instead of your belly and you will be VERY pleased.

.....as long as you are paying for it.....that is the ultimate irony......feed you to death at your own expense.......

....and I am not sure that those that are in a difficult way appreciate your graphic excesses.....

...besides.......gluttony is a sin.....

My wife is very strict about the time when she eats, as long as it ends in o'clock it is ok.

Too cute .

Quit complaining while you stuff food down your neck. There are many poor and homeless who would love to be at your board for meals, so suggest your wife feed the homeless and the poor elderly in the villages nearby; you know, someone who would appreciate what he has instead of asking such foolish questions. If the little lady is trying to kill you, your gut and pain other than constipation might give you a clue. Here is a hint; shut your gob....on both counts and thank the Lord for your blessings

Too cute .

cute? seems to me you are saying your wife is at fault for your swollen liver & the fat strangling your heart as well as your blocked & clogged blood vessels. no photos of you three, but i feel all are porkers. do the right thing, stay fit, you will have so much more time with her. :-)

Either she’s after your money – obesity is a sure killer – or she really loves you so much and just want to take good care of you...

Know of many farangs having the same problem, still wonder what the truth is...?

Wish to believe the last, as I’m also being taken good care of...

Hi,

This is quite common in Thailand. The lady sees her role in feeding her man. Remember in Thailand the fatter you are the richer you are perceived to be. Fat people eat a lot so must have money to eat. So often fatter people work hard and don't exercise. It is a culture thing.

Suggest the idea that fat doesn't mean successful in your country and that you love her so much that you want to be around for longer. Ask her ( tell her that she is the professional) that you need healthy food and can she help you with it. So that she feels she has some sense of responsibility for you.

Some Thai people don't equate obesity as a life-ending problem.

Hope this helps

Read no further folks...

This takes the piety award hands down.

To everyone who stopped by on this thread to question my manhood, or to tell me I married my mother, or to say I must look like Homer Simpson, or to call me names like exfatriate, Gecko-zilla, goldfish, or porker, or who tried to make me feel guilty for enjoying a meal with my family, or to remind me that there are kids starving in Appalachia, I would just like all of you to know that this afternoon I am happily ensconced in my Lay-Z-Boy recliner watching the Olive Kitteridge marathon on HBOS. My wife's not home, but I am making frequent trips to the kitchen to grab snacks and ice cold Leos. I don't know why, but for some reason the food and beer has never tasted better and I feel positively invigorated! Thanks to everyone for helping make this afternoon so enjoyable!

My Mother started that, continued by first wife, and now worry about too many FAST FOOD poisoning.
