Black and Married with Kids responds to a reader’s query about the “weight issue.”
“Dear BMWK,
I am 29 and my bf is 29 and in the military. We are talking about marriage and he brought up a sensitive issue, weight. I am 5′8 and I wear a size 14/16, I put on weight within the last few years because of stress. Have you guys ever been faced with the issue of weight and how did you handle it? Thank you for all of your help.

I think it is a good thing that you and your finance are talking about this now….as opposed to after you are married. However, I think that it is up to you to determine the weight that you need to be…as opposed to trying to be a certain weight to make someone else happy.

Hmmm… This one is kind of tricky. Like my wife said I think the best thing is that the two of you are talking about it before you get married, that’s the most important part and the two of you should be able to talk about things like this if you’re considering a step as serious as marriage regardless of how uncomfortable it may be.
