Oh, that is a big deal. One of the "issues" with weight loss is that people
will *act different*. Some people will actively discourage you, or at
least be a little upset. This is normal for any life change, but esp.
diet issues, for some reason. Human beings DO NOT LIKE change.
Even when it is a change for the better.
For a wife though, the solution is pretty easy: show her you still
love her. Like, take her out to a great dinner. The underlying question
at some level is: "are you getting in shape because you have
some other lover????". OK, YOU know that is baloney, but she
doesn't. Some spouses feel more comfortable with an "ugly" mate,
because, well, he's less likely to be stolen.
I'm betting you DO look "much better" "like this".

OK, I have to share something that just happened. My wife has been constantly saying that maybe I shouldn't get "too thin", and that was one of the reasons I started this post. But she just came into my office and said, "You know I've been thinking... I think you look MUCH better like this than you did when you had big arms and big legs and could bench 315lbs."
WooHoo! Success!!
