Default Re: How do I tell my wife she's gaining weight?

Mrs. Alura and I discussed this very subject this morning. We've recently picked up a new line in our business, Gourmet Chocolates and candies, including caramels and toffees. Problem is that it tastes really good and the manufacturer keeps sending samples "to share with your customers." It's just not right to "share" unless you have a nibble yourself, now is it? Consider also that you're calling on four to six customers a day. That's a lot of sharing...

I don't mean to make light of being overweight. Mrs. Alura's only risk factor for breast cancer was being overweight. She did everything else that's supposed to help you not get it, from the proper use of birth control pills to breast feeding our kids. It scares me when she gains.

Berating her is out of the question. First because we don't berate each other, and second because my waist-size is up a couple of inches.

We should never have taken the chocolate line!


Mr. Alura
