He eats & eats like there's no tomorrow & he should be the size of a barn but he has a fast metabolism & works as a scaffolder so he doesn't need to worry about his weight as he never seems to put it on...I think his hobby these days is eating!On the weekends, he gets up & eats & doesn't stop eating until he goes to bed of night...during the week, he gets home from work & eats virtually non-stop until he goes to bed...Do you live with anyone like that? My nick name for him these days is fat pig! I'm not trying to offend anyone that has weight issues, so please don't get offended. I guess I'm just complaining about him & his fast metabolism. Do you know anyone like this who doesn't put weight on & their hobby seems to be eating?

Yes my live in boyfriend. Oh my God I have to workout vigorously five days a week to maintain my slender shape and I eat 4 - 8 times sensibly. Funny how have lost so much weight and watch what I eat. He on the other hand has picked up his eating habits and Bless his heart, he does not exercise yet has an wonderful athletic build. Every time he picks up a plate of something he offers me some and ugh, I must refused otherwise I would be Miss Piggy...

I don't work out or watch what I eat but I don't eat nearly as much as my hubby!! I do alot of walking though as I deliver catalogues as a part-time job so I walk for about 1-2hours a day, plus walk my dogs.

True, true but I don't really consider it a work out as this is a part time job for me as I deliver catalogues for money.

Yes I do,my hubby do eat a lot specially rice.He eat 3-4 times a day of rice plus he eat snack and snack and snack but he didnt even gained weight. I also do eat a lot but my metabolism is slow and I surely gain weight if I dont control my eating habits,and I would say my hubby has fast metabolism coz even he do eats a lot and most are fatty foods he doesnt gain weight.

The bonus about where you are, most of the Japanese food is pretty healthy - even the Japanese hamburger - the meat patty on the rice - one of my FAVOURITE dishes! Rice can be fattening because of the starch but other than that, if you eat a good diet, you shouldn't gain weight unless you don't exercise :) Our hubbies are lucky huh?

I don't gain weight that easy but I know I can't eat that amount without having to walk for a mile or 2.

Hi & I have a fast metabolism too. Althought I don't eat as much as your husband. I am a small girl who likes to eat. My main thing is junk food. I can eat and eat, and not gain any weight. For now, its cool, but later im sure it will catch up w/ me. Its like every hour on the hour I get hungry again and go hunting for food lol. so yeah, i'm gulity of this.

Oh God! If only my husband was like yours! I envy you. Me and my husband always try to watch what we eat because we gain weight everytime we breathe. Seriously! It's such a stress because I am a very vain person (sorry, I'm trying to change) and I hate the fact the we have both gained weight into our marriage.

I don't gain weight easy but if I ate constantly like he does, I would be a big person.

hi moonchil1au!!! hahahaha!! as in ROFL!!! we both have the same issues about our husband!! and the worse is. sometimes i eat with him. because he keeps on giving me asking me to taste it. and it was good so sometimes i sat besides him and watch tv while eating.. i know it is bad.. because i am gaining weight and since i am a stay home wife and i do online earning for a while so i dont go anywhere. all the food are stuck in my body and not loosing it!! I HATE IT!!! and the worst is... he is NOT gaining weight because of just like you said "fast metabolism" which i dont have. i know.. my fault too!!! :D and i just tell him this.. "You know papa, when you'll have your general check up this year. all your laboratory results will reach up and you'll be stuck all your life taking medicines and you would not be able to eat all of that again. so just eat in "moderation" okay.. i love you!!!" LOL!! have a happy day to all!!

Hello Moonchild. i know a few people who can eat as much as they want without worrying about putting weight on. My husband is a healthy eater really, he eats his meals but he doesn't pig out in between and if he did he's the type who would get fat. I wish I could eat what I wanted all the time :)

Yeah, me too but sometimes seeing the amount he eats makes me feel sick.

I thought this discussion was funny because my hubby does too and he is a heavier person. I tease him about it sometimes and he just makes pig noises. He almost always has second helpings and he tells me that I eat like a bird.

That's funny! My hubby does the same thing going back for seconds if the food is nice...We're having roast for dinner tonight so there won't be much left when he's gone to bed!!
