Some part of me knows I need to change and that's why I'm here. However, there is another part that thinks I'm fine as I am.
I'm a 5'10 210lb male that's nearing 40. I was taught growing up that size was a good thing for males. However, my wife who likes muscle is implying that I should lose weight so I guess not all large sizes are good.
You'd think that would be enough of a reason to change but my wife is more overweight than I am, so her poking fun at my belly means little. I was already thin before while with her so me losing weight is unlikely to motivate her to change. If anything, we looks less like the odd couple now that I'm closer to her size, which puts my mind at ease.
(probably a horrible thing to say but I'm just being honest)
I guess I'm selfishly trying to find a reason to lose weight for myself. Would there really be much of a benefit to dropping 10 or 20 pounds? What do I have to gain by doing so. I hate to admit it but I'm more scared of looking small and weak than having a belly.
I also have a tendency to get anxious and depressed, which I can ignore through alcohol and eating greasy foods. I can't imagine not having that outlet.
As a typical guy with a little extra belly, what can I hope to gain by losing weight?
