You two need to go on some long treks through the mountains. Hike a trail for two weeks carrying all of your food. You'll lose weight. Guarantee it. Look up some treks.

Why would that sort of trek break up the marriage? Coming from a person that has done those sorts of things, I would think that it could only strengthen things.
There are a couple things to be done:
1. Replace her normal food with reduced-fat versions when she's not looking. She'll think she's eating her normal stuff.
2. Ask her to do physical things (mowing lawn, washing car) as favors to you (you're too tired/too busy/hurt yourself). Don't do it all the time or else she might catch on to you.
3. When she's holding an object, steal it and make her chase you to get it back.
If all else fails:
4. Buy a separate fridge for the kids and one for you and your wife. Keep your fridge locked when you're away from home.
Fat chicks try harder.

Fat doesn't make you fat, MORON.
Numerous studies have shown that when you replace fat with carbs, you end up getting fat.

FINE.
Reduced-CALORIE.
And when I say treks through the mountains, I mean difficult stuff. Like PCT. Or WCT.

Typically reduced calorie means replacing fats with sugar. This will lead to elevated insulin levels and then a sugar crash and more binge eating.
You have to eat MORE fat, not less.
Seriously, sometimes runners are stupid.

Guess he should butter to her coffee. Salted or unsalted? Kerrygold or French?
run with her a few days a week or set her up to run with some of her thinner friends, and take the family to the beach occasionally. She'll start to do the right things for her health, I bet.

Steve, that's actually quite heavy.
Not particularly

Of course he wants to stay married. If he had to watch the kids, he'd miss workouts.
Why oh why do women torture themselves by marrying guys like the OP?
This doesn't reflect on the OP. People who gain weight after marriage because they don't care anymore show a huge amount of disrespect to their partner. This goes for male and female. If both people want to let themselves go that's one thing...but for one person to work hard to maintain a healthy life, not just for looks, but also for longevity, and the other to not give a crap is hugely unfair and is extremely inconsiderate. If my wife did that I would not touch her primarily because it shows deep down she doesn't care about me or what I want.

Well said, 17-year old LetsRun poster! Tell us, where did one so young acquire such a deep understanding of human relationships?
Or are you the OP, posting under a different handle?

That might be tough because women are super sensitive beings. Get used to it, it's probably only to get worse as the children age into teenagers and cause more stress.
This is "not uncommon among women" AFTER they get married and have kids. That's when reality sets in...she realizes that, despite all the talk about "sharing child rearing responsibilities," SHE is the one who is expected to devote her entire life to the children. So she eats to block out her pain and resentment. He, meanwhile, continues to enjoy his work, hobbies, and friends without interruption. And then he whines about HER to an anonymous message board.
Let this be a cautionary tale for all young, unmarried women out there--DON'T BE SO QUICK TO GIVE UP YOUR INDEPENDENCE FOR MARRIAGE AND CHILDREN. Otherwise, you'll end up like the OP's miserably unhappy wife!!
He never said he enjoys his work, hobbies, and friends without interruption. He never even said he enjoys his work at all. He never said that his wife has to devote all of her life to the children.
You made all of that up. You did nothing but complain about the stereotypical lazy and ungrateful husband.
Also, monetary income is, in fact, a "child rearing responsibility".
I'd like to see you try that with a 5 and 3 year old. Maybe you could pull off a two week trek with a pack mule that you could stuff the kids in the panniers occasionally...
