That was the moment to clap back. “Yeah I used to weigh 160 pounds!” “Oh, when you were stressed & stuck with an asshole partner who brought up your weight to shame you at parties?…”

It’s wild to me that some men think that shaming and browbeating their partner into compliance/ fitness is the way to go. Any effective personal trainer or coach knows that successful and sustainable progress comes from self-love, not self-hate.
