Lose 40 Pounds in 80 Days
> DON'T LOOK NOW - BUT YOUR WIFE IS SHOWINGToo many thin bachelors go to pot as soon as they get married. That's because their wives feed 'em too well on the wrong things.
So when Hubby starts trying to cut down, help him out. It is up to you wives, you know, whether or not Old Lard Face makes good on his dieting sprees.
It will pay you to help him - if only to get his "honeymoon figure" back into your life.
Kid him just once at the wrong time, and woe be unto you. You'll be cursed with a fat boy the rest of your days - and nights.
Make fun of his shape just once too often when he struts around the bedroom making like Alan Ladd with a gun, and you'll so discourage the old fellow he'll slump into resignation and stay fat.
So be kind to him, ladies, as you would be to a homeless mutt.
He isn't going through a radical change of life, just a change in weight, but that's just as tough on his fat hide.
And just because his hide is fat doesn't mean it's tough. It's very sensitive, believe it or not.
He'll watch how you are taking it, even though he watches out the corner of his left eye.
He will pull in his tummy on and off to "show off." All males do this. Take the cue and coo:
"Why, Horace, you do look youthful again!"
Just remember, you'll get a lot more mileage out of him if he does slim down.
DON'T BE A "WIFE"
Don't act like a "wife."
Sure, this may be Fat Boy's tenth dieting spree. Each time he's lost half a dozen pounds, given up, and gained back 10 pounds.
But be a sport. Gamble a little. This may be the time. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain if he loses instead of gains.
Maybe he has been to the doc and "learned the worst" and is really sincere this time.
Maybe one of his downtown girl friends remarked behind his back, "Gosh, isn't Wilbur getting to be a tub of butter!"
Who knows - who cares - what might have caused this latest dieting spree? Go along with it. Cross your fingers, say your prayers, and maybe Fatso will follow through this time.
Give him that, "What-again?" look and he'll say, "What the hell" and double up on his chocolate pie.
Give him some real encouragement, though, and you may turn your food-lover into a Great Lover again.
DON'T TEMPT HIM
Put temptation in front of any man, and he's apt to accept it.
By all means don't put creamed soups and fried foods and rich cheeses and heavily-gooed salads in front of Tubby.
Go along with the poor cuss.
Set your table like an old Spartan, or a Puritan wife, or the Methodist minister's old maid cook.
Lead him not into temptation!
What he doesn't see he doesn't drool over!
Out of sight - often out of mind! - out of his tummy!
