Anybody here have some advice on how to inspire your woman without telling her shes uh, fat?
If not women how about you guys with homies who are just not as fired up as they used to be. What do you say?

Whatever you do, don't constantly drop what you believe to be subtle hints. I'd suggest talking to her openly and honestly about how you feel. Maybe if you can somehow make her understand how important fitness is to you, she'll get back into it. You could approach it from the angle of being able to spend more time doing things (working out) together if you think that would work better, but I see nothing wrong with simply telling her that you were more attracted to her physically when she was working out. Whatever you do, though, don't tell her she's getting fat. Unless your goal is to never be able to sleep with her again.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Let me get this straight. You laugh at Brad Pitt's Fight Club body? Dude, he is laughing at you all the way to the sack where Angelina Jolie is happily awaiting him. That body type is about a million times more appealing than the huge, muscley, overly built look, and is probably more healthy since someone with that body type probably does WAY more cardio exercises and eats a more balanced diet than a bodybuilder.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
