Health check up?
I am sorry someone was so callus to not explain how we arrive at obesity diagnosis. She will be only hurting herself and you if she retaliates by gaining weight. Find a good physician who will explain goals and help your wife meet them. Complete physical and lab with a helpful goal for possible adjusting weight can be reached with her doctor working together with your wife to meet optimal goals and weight. I hope this is helpful.

Why do I feel no urge to have sex?
Most often, when women mature, they have a hormone imbalance that can result in low sex drive, central body fat, and overall slowing down of drive. I would recommend a book on hormone issues by Susan Summers about hormone issues, Sexy Years. It explains in understandable, non-medical terms what could be going on and possible solutions. I prescribe bio-identical hormones in my office for just that reasons. I pray this helps you and your situation! READ MORE
