Reverse dieting at home turns husband into unwilling co star
A humorous diary style piece traces a husband’s experience as his wife embarks on a strict diet. He laments weight gain for himself while she insists on sacrifice, serving endless meals and desserts, and he notes their shared social pain, the kids’ performance of innocence, and a plea for Dieter's Anonymous for husbands. The narrator concludes that his own suffering mirrors hers and jokes that progress is slow but real.
