I need your parenting advice Jow Forums

5’8 and 200 pound! What the fuck!?!? She’s bigger than half the running backs in the NFL!

You’re weak, you don’t put your foot down, your wife disobeys you, your kids don’t respect you and you make excuses for them all.

Fix yourself, your fat daughter is your fault not hers.

Coming though with the only right answer here:

Buy them loads and loads of junk food and encourage them to join the local community college with a gender studies degree when they grow older. That way, you'll ensure no man will ever look at them and they won't become sluts.

You're an excellent dad, user. Good for you for looking out for your family's health.

First of all, you need to get your wife on board. It's damn near impossible to change your eating and exercise habits when someone else in your house isn't going too. If she wants to lose weight too, it shouldn't be super hard. Don't bother with diet talk, because thatll just make her get defensive. just explain that you think you all as a family should eat better.

Don't have any junk food in the house. Vegetables should make up 50% of what you're eating as a family. Get creative with it. I thought I hated Zucchini, until I decided to scrape out the seeds and try it that way. Roast cauliflower is extremely versatile. Try different kinds of mushrooms. Always have cherry tomatoes and cucumber and carrots and humus in case you want a quick snack. Learn to season your veg well. Don't nitpick about how much olive oil you use. Corn on the cobb is GOAT summer vegetable.

You don't need to worry about portion control with Veg. Your kids can eat 4 cups of Chipotle roasted cauliflower and it'll still be less than a Twinkie. Kids are shit at portion control so your best bet is to let them eat a shit ton of healthier food instead.
Kids are also often pretty bad about thinking to themselves "I should go exercise", so you'll need to trick them into it sometimes. Take your family on hikes. Take your family to the park. Get a dog that needs to be walked plenty (but make it your kids idea so they'll have to help walk it). Are they interested in something like golf? Anything that keeps them moving for an extended period of time is good. Honestly, even taking them to the mall on occasion will suffice. Walk around for 3 hours, don't buy the soft pretzels, and you're good to go.
Another possible approach: inspire them. The women's world cup is on right now and could be a good way to get them into the sport.

2 kids here.
Don't buy crap food, problem solved.
veg, fruit, fish, meat, nuts, as little carbs (always whole, no white crap) as possible.
They wanna eat sugar and processed fat ridden garbage-tier food? They'll do at their grandparents, friends birthdays, etc.
Not in my kitchen

fuck them

sign her up to some sport or exercise together

I try user. Sometimes my wife is on board but then she caves and Congress home with a bunch of garbage. I will say she's stuck to the no soda policy very well.

Go shopping with her.

>Does your wife just make a gigantic portion of everything without taking into account how much people there are?

Yes. There's 4 of us but she cooks for twice that usually.

make sure your kids are sleeping properly to my gf developed insomnia and ballooned up quick she started meditating before bed and slept well and it dropped right off getting enough sleep also helps stabilize cravings for sugar through the day sleep well live well mate

Did Soccer and martial Arts. The kids are laughably unathletic. I'll try biking, that sounds good, thanks.
It's actually my wife's daughter, at least read the fucking post autist.
In her defense she was pregnant then.
ha, I like you user. thanks.

So she's wasting food, money and making your kids fat. Your waifu a shit.

But why would you be doing that? Is food really that cheap? Obviously yes, but it's still hard to grasp.

When I was growing up it was basically your mom cooked exactly as much as the family needed. Mostly cheap healthy shit too, fast food was a rare treat, snacks in the house were basically oatmeal and some dry cookies, occasionally some cooking chocolate. I doubt I drank 2L of soda in total before I was 14. "the fat kid" in the school was something like 190lb at 6'.
Can't waste food if you vacuum up the double portions.

maybe its autistic, maybe its bad parenting, but what im going to do regardless if i have children, is instill diligent calorie counting in them. it's the only way to deal with this fat world we live

I can't say how cheap food is relative to where you are but I think it is pretty cheap compared to most other countries.
I grew up similarly user, my mom is still very health conscious. We never had cookies or sweets in the house growing up, although soda was a constant.
It's been weird, even 10 years later, opening the cupboard and seeing bags of chips or cookies consistently.

I'll keep that in mind. We keep a pretty tight sleep schedule with the kids though.

Getting your daughters into a sports team while they're fatties might turn them off from sports forever so have them lose weight first. Seat with your wife and talk about the junk food situation, they're pretty young so they'll lose weight in a few months with proper nutrition.

Also, the bike thing might be a good idea depending on how out of shape they are

It's a weird fat world isn't it? My wife mentioned the weight talk I had with my wife and daughters to our former marriage counselor and the bitch reacted like I slapped her in the face. She acted like I told them they were worthless pieces of shit for telling then to watch their food intake.

Fucking bitch.

There pretty out of shape. They're not gross fat yet but both are developing bellies.

>200 lbs woman
No she is lardass

Teach them to monitor their own calories using an app and tell them to do a bunch of cardio.

Idk about eating at a deficient while being a teen, it'd probably be best you have them talk to their doctor about what they should do to diet.

If they get fat now it's only gonna be harder to lose it as an adult.

Only real diet is cico, don't do any of that meme shit, don't let them do it either.

After my mom had my brother, I told her she got fat daily, I was 4, I'm told I made her cry.
She got down to 115 and was and still is skinny.

Because no one measures food out perfectly for 4+ people unless they're autistic.

>Because no one measures food out perfectly for 4+ people unless they're autistic.
Yeah, no way you could after years of cooking make any reasonable guess. I bet you also accidentally order five pounds of tendies because you have no idea what is a reasonable portion for your fat ass.

>If they get fat now it's only gonna be harder to lose it as an adult.

That's exactly my motivation. There are few things more miserable in the world than a fat woman.

I work peds and see this shit all the time. Exercise is a miniscule part of the problem. It's always the shit food the parents have in the house. You're not going to help your children lose weight by putting the responsibility on them. They'll have to learn one day, but right now they have low impulse control and are unable to monitor their own diet.

If this is important to you then you need to take control and fix it. Your wife is part of the problem and there's no reasoning with her. You can't reason with fat people, and the first thing you need to do is acknowledge that she's fat.

You need to learn how to cook. If you can cook something that's healthy and then present it to fat people, they will eat it. They eat trash because it takes no effort, so if you do all the cooking and shopping then it's less work for them. It's possible to make delicious healthy food, but it takes time, effort, and cooking from scratch.

If you want your family to lose weight then you need to put the work in. You're the only one who sees the problem. This is only if you're serious about it. I don't have an easy answer

At 9 and 14 is the golden opportunity for you to influence their eating disorders. You have the most critical role. I advise you to tease them both incessantly, sometimes dropping sexual comments if possible about their body shape. This is important because your daughters will either:
A. Develop an eating disorder that makes her drop the pounds and look like a bombshell, doors will open for her
B. Make her rebell by overeating herself to the front of the waiting list on 600lb life
This is a peak opportunity because you have two daughters so you get a 50/50 chance of one of them turning out successfully. It’s better to have one golden success than two mediocre fat kids. My bet is on the older one succeeding. Continue feeding the younger one so that can be reverse motivation for the older one.

> don't have an easy answer
Thanks, I know there's no easy answers. You guys have been really helpful.

>200lbs
>not fat
>b-but she was pregnant

unless that baby weighed at least 50 lbs, she's a landwhale. If she's a hamplanet, those eating habits will of course be adopted by the little ones.

the only correct answer is this >marrying lardasses
>ever

Whatever you do, do it quick and make sure its you who pushes the initiative, rather than letting her friends in high school be the first to bring it up. She'll hate you know, but thank you later.

She's been losing weight recently. She claims to be down to 156, I'm not sure I believe that though, more like 165.

Hop on Amazon and get one of those swingball sets (its a pole with a tennis ball on the end of a string and you have two bats to hit it with) and stick it in the back garden or take it to the park . There's also those velcro mitts which come with a ball and you throw and catch it with the mitt.

Also if you use larger dinner plates, give them smaller ones so less food fits on and they're taking in less calories but don't allow for seconds.

When I was smaller and the weather was good my parents would yeet me out of the door and I'd go and play with my siblings and the neighbourhood kids provided we stay in sight if we were out in the front.

Another idea would be to get a dog. People may not do things for themselves, but they'll sure as heck do things for someone else or an animal so you can go for walks together - alternatively borrow a friends dog to play with and walk.

Regardless of what anyone here says, there is no way any of your childrens problems can possibly be fixed as long as you and your wife are misaligned on how to raise them.

I'm a forever alone autist so unfortunately I dont have any advice how to fix that misalignment, just that that is your actual problem you need to be paying attention to, then you can work on your kids

no snacks and healthy meals, you cant get fat on chicken breasts potatoes beans and vegtables with unsweetened fruit. just cook healthy meals, give them oatmeal instead of cornflakes give them chicken instead of bacon, give them beans instead of other dumb shit. you will have a hard time getting fat on good food.

this, that's what my parents did since I was 8.

Establish some authority in your household. Are you the man or not? How can you tell your wife not to poison your kids with that shit and then just let it slide when she does it anyway? How can you "try" to limit the portion sizes? Does the spaghetti fight back? Does your 9 year-old daughter physically overpower you and put more food on her plate when you tell her no? You are supposed to be the boss of these people. A loving, caring boss, but a boss nonetheless. You make the rules and most importantly, you ENFORCE the rules. You are not only doing your wife a great disservice but you are also letting your kids down by letting your family walk over you like this. Two of them are kids; they're going to be stupid and prone to overindulgence and it's your job to put your foot down and teach them how to behave, by example. You also need to give your wife a stern talking and tell her that you will not let her jeopardize the health of your daughters and that she needs to be on your side in this.

Grow a spine, put your foot down, get your wife on board and then work together to save your kids before they end up as fucking fatasses with type 2 diabetes.

Sounds like the key is your wife, you gotta get her to eat healthier and exercise, and only then can you solve the issue with your daughters permanently, otherwise your wife will keep sabotaging anything you do
Did she have decuplets? If not, she was extremely fucking fat, easily 70lbs overweight even if you consider she was pregnant

In Op's case this sounds like a recipe for a quick divorce

>Neither of the kids are active at all.
Theres your problem.
Cutting down on food/sweets is important but actually getting them to be active in some sport would be a great way of making them care about physical fitness. Clearly your daughter is already uncomfortable the way she is now and showing her the joy of physical exercise is up to you.
Do it now before the first boy she likes tells her off for being too fat, that´ll just make it worse.

Bicycle and elliptical. Also, my father rode bikes with me from 5 years old and I believe that is why I was on the track team in high school, and still have fitness as one of my top priorities. I would actually disagree with the other anons about a trip to the gym, riding bikes with your children is a heartwarming bonding experience and prepares your children for a lifetime of fitness

just ask your daughters if they want to be good looking. if they answer yes, which they will obviously, ask them if they're willing to pay the price of that, controlling their shitty habits, if they answer yes then it's on them not to eat the junk your wife brings home and go for a jog every so often. At some point they have to learn some personal responsibility.

Also have a talk with your wife about your children's health, especially the mental health aspect of growing up fat. Do you want your daughters to be obnoxious purple haired tumblristas who resent men for not showing them enough attention?
I think she'll get the picture.

Have you tried introducing snackfoods that aren't garbage? My family has a habit of keeping plastic boxes of shredded chicken and beef in the fridge. I had something of an addiction to chocolate bars before I swapped them out for apples.

Seconded. This shit is all on you and the wife for teaching them how to eat like this and stocking the house with crap and/or going out to eat all the time.

At 9 and 14 they are probably at their most impressionable and if you respond negatively, your're going to bless them both with lifelong eating disorders.

Correct your own house, stop buying unhealthy snacks, toss the junk and get them outside and playing.

I tossed footballs, played volleyball and/or frisbee with my nieces and nephew to get them into it. You want them to have fun and feel good in their bodies. If it is fun, the kids will automatically go and do it.

PS, unless your wife can deadlift 300lbs, your wife is a large marge. Sorry bro.

Any problem with your children can be explained by you molesting them too much or not enough.

I also have a daughter and my mum, gf and every female I know struggle with meme diets and body image.

I found a good solution was doing the cooking (controlling portion sizes, macro count, snacks etc), and instead of making eating a negative experience, just get really really hyped about exercise & really make that positive. Food doesn't even come into it as a factor for them, just how well she's doing in gymnastics and track.

It's more effort from you and ye you're probably going to have to sacrifice your time with the lads after lunch, but if you want something done right you have to do it yourself.

Sell them into slavery.

OP. You and your wife cucked your kids. If you're fat during pregnancy this influences your kids genes to become fat as well. Check this episode of the Joe Rogan Podcast with dr. Rhonda Patrick, or any podcast with her. youtube.com/watch?v=A9Mj0Q9y084

>does the spaghetti fight back

Holy shit bro my sides

cut out the shit food and see if your daughters can find some athletic activity that they like to do for a hobby.

removing the shit food is essential. the kids will likely eat crap when they're away from you (like in school or with friends) so it's important to cut out what garbage you can.

top kek

I tell my two that if they keep eating shit, they'll end up fat, with diabeetus and have to get their feet amputated.

Sounds harsh but my oldest (10) eats like a dog, ie. she'll just eat and eat untill she fucking pukes.

My youngest (7) just wants to snack all the fucking time, like wants fed every hour.

My missus gives into them like the soppy cunt she is but that shit dont fucking fly when I'm around.

My youngest has started throwing some light steel with me and my oldest does dancing. We all regularly go for walks and cycles so they are pretty fit. Just need to be firm but fair on the little shits, including the wife.

You sound like you're too young to have even touched a woman.

If your children are fat, it's your fault. My son is only two and he already loves exercising with me.

>inb4 it's because he's a toddler
Yeah, they're sponges. They soak up whatever you put in them. You should have started earlier but it's not too late. Just make sure you use positive reinforcement

Setup your scale in an open room and grapple her onto it, just as you might weigh luggage. Subtract your weight and you'll know if she's still the woman you married.

>You need to learn how to cook. If you can cook something that's healthy and then present it to fat people, they will eat it. They eat trash because it takes no effort, so if you do all the cooking and shopping then it's less work for them. It's possible to make delicious healthy food, but it takes time, effort, and cooking from scratch.

This. My kids are younger (2 and 4), but I am trying very hard to instill good nutrition habits for them. Home cooked dinners almost every night, minimal processed foods and minimal added sugars. I work a demanding job, but I still prioritize putting healthy food in front of my family. I do a big grocery shopping trip every weekend and I often do meal prep after everyone else has gone to bed so that I can get dinner on the table at a reasonable hour every night. I'm not trying to be boastful - cooking is actually one of my hobbies, so I enjoy it - but I am very mindful of what I feed my family. I also like to involve the kids in cooking when I have time so that hopefully they will enjoy cooking as well and continue to have healthy habits once I am no longer in control of their diet.

tldr - Take control of the food situation in your house as the other user said.

>Neither of the kids are active at all

Just dont be like my fucking dad who projected his failed ambitions into me. He had a chance to play soccer for a big team in my country but had to decline because of family. I never like soccer and I hate it to this day but still forced me to play football and signed me to football practice which I hated. After I told him Im not going anymore when I was 9 he just kinda saw me as dissapointment. Never gave me any life lessons, never took me out. To him I was just a failure of a son (But I sitll managed to become successful tho). I recently also learned my dad often told my mom before sleep how much of a dissapointment I am. Dont be this kind of dad OP

Team sports if they don't hate humans, when they aren't in practice, you play with them to improve their skills. If they don't like team sports then go with any individual effort based Olympic sport (ie. Wrestling, Judo, short distance running, javelin, gymnastics, Olympic weightlifting, swimming).

The Patrician's choice. Exercise your authority as Paterfamilias.

Take over shopping and cooking, make it a family lifestyle if you haven't already, this is about your kids. You have control partially of what they do and eat. If not. Other spitball ideas are
Fatten your kids up until your wife thinks their a problem/keep doing it until you see your family on '600 lb life' because your Wife and maybe you will continue enabling this behavior. These problems start young and then cascade as they get older.

Glad someone appreciates honesty. Nowadays everyone is all "baww mean people". Jow Forums is supposed to be a place for thick skins.
It sounds to me like your wife would rather sabotage your daughters to have company/claim genetics than commit an effort to maintain her figure.
Chat up the big daughter about boys. Get her to tell you about her ideal chad. Then tell her that he has options. She will be competing with a crowd of girls. Why does she think she deserves him? What does she have to offer? Good personality? The dream hunk can find another girl with good personality AND a good body. Every girl wants him.

>'food is my life'

The problem here is deeper. She sounds like those failed people on dating sites whose interests are "food, sleep". You should introduce her to new things so she can develop passions and live experiences that will make her develop as an individual.
Additionally you can try scaring your girls straight by shoving them people with cancer and telling them obesity increases the risk of it.

It's funny because we had spaghetti last night.

Sometimes I forget where I am, I was trying to be diplomatic.
The reason she's lost the weight she has recently is because I told her I was leaving because I want attracted to her anymore.
I told her when we first got together that of she got fat I'd leave. Apparently, she didn't believe me until I contacted a lawyer.

Stop being a lazy dad. Feed them correctly and stop spoiling them.

Post body or STFU.

>Additionally you can try scaring your girls straight by shoving them people with cancer and telling them obesity increases the risk of it.
I do this with 'my 600lb life' marathons.

I'm lucky because I have some amazing gyms around me now if i had a 14 yo daughter i'd send her to the local Oly gym. There's loads of teen girls there and they get good results with a proper community unlike the fatties wasting their time in the commercial gym.

That said I'm a big believer in leading by example and I'll work out in front of my kids from birth and have gym rings in their room.

You're wife could possibly be on to something because a bit of a belly is kind of how little girls just are. They have a lot more pelvic and abdominal muscle from a young age because of their anatomy and that can lead to looking a little bloated when they aren't. Especially next to stick thin little boys. Funny enough girls are actually stronger before puberty. (Girls vs boys martial art humiliation tournaments are a cancer).

Anyway get them into a sport they can get stuck into. See how they're doing that way at school.

Well at least you are standing up for yourself. It's a tough situation when the woman you love and mother of your children makes little or no effort to affect positive changes in life. Divorce is never an easy answer. Keep trying to get them on the road to lifelong fitness. Make sure to set the example by being fit yourself and letting them know that it is a long term and life long endeavour and not just losing weight to look good at the beach. It takes time, discipline, and hard work, but the satisfaction of feeling good about yourself is priceless. Tell them that the fitter they are in their youth the more it will pay off as they age. Let me also offer some tips if I may:
Make sure the food you eat is not only healthy, but tastes good and looks appetizing. This can go a long way to ensure discipline and compliance. Make a list of nutritious foods and have them choose their favourites.

If they like to eat a lot then choose some foods that are low in calories but high in volume so that they can get that "full" feeling after meals.

Have healthy snacks handy for in between meals if they are hungry. Again make a list and let them choose. Stuff like nuts, granola, fruit, small light smoothies, trail mix with a little chocolate mixed in can all be very tasty. Teach them about good portion size for snacking. Snacks are not meant to make you feel full, it's just for a quick boost of energy until the next meal.

I mever got this man. Just dont buy junk for your kids. They dont have jobs and shit so what are they gonna do?
>wife undermimes
Then you have much larger problems and should focus on your marriage. The foundation of every family is the marriage. It's fucking layer 1 and layer 1 is always the problem.
Go for runs with the girls in the evening when you get off from work. You'll sacrifice time, and gains if youre a faggot who wont workout twice, but welcome to the world of parenting.
Also work through your daughters' insecurities now before they explode. Teach them what a healthy body is and why it's beautiful. Yeah the whole

You've already missed the boat on the most important development stages for both girls so now sadly it's at the damage control stage.

At this point you need to start playing a more active role as their main patriarchal influence. The easiest way of doing this is ensuring they spent more time with you than their mother and lead by example.

Like above posters have said, they have adopted the eating habits given to them by their home life so you need to fix that immediately

This was the best post so far in the thread, so take his advice

first, i'm sorry that your wife is neglecting your children's health.
the sports that my younger sister did to get in shape was swimming.
essentially, say that being in a sport before highschool or during highschool looks good on the application - say it's academically beneficial.
have them either join the school's swim team, which typically isn't a "cutting sport". have them attend every practice, a minimum of 5 times a week.
in your house, tactically eliminate any junk food. refined carbs, junk food, sugary yogurts etc. have them have higher protein meals with vegetables and fruit, and don't allow them to buy meals from the school, which often have poor nutrition and are high in calories.
have protein bars replace candy bars as a 2x a week treat.
importantly confront your wife. she's putting both her health and the health of her children at risk. being a fat girl, especially as a teen, is misery.

Get your woman in order.

It's ogre user. You can't beat them so join them. Stop lifting, become a fatty too and enjoy the typical American way of life.

Maybe in a few years they'll make a fatty fat fat show about you guys.

An EZ-mode transitional "treat" is greek yoghurt with a little bit of jam in it. Pre-flavored gyog often has around 20g sugar per serving, whereas adding one serving of jam to plain gyog can often cut the sugar in half. You can do even less if that's still too much for your liking and if you're not into jam, a handful of fresh fruit also goes well with yogurt as an alternative.

>have protein bars replace candy bars as a 2x a week treat.
Storebought protein bars are often just as bad as candy bars. 20g+ sugar per. Making his own could be a good alternative, time willing.
