Regardless of your opinion on whether any normal women can 'blimp out' after giving birth, it happens. Post natal depression is a real disorder. Though oversold to the public, it IS real. In addition, the in some women, their hormones go haywire and can stay that way for a couple of years. Chronic exhaustion increases depression.

How long ago did she have your child? Marriage is a two way street. The husband spending all his time at work and the gym while his wife stays home alone with the baby, with no physical or emotional support from the husband doesn't sound like a good way to show love. I'm not accusing you of doing this....but how does your WIFE feel about it?

I just love how some men expect their women to look like Jennifer Aniston when they themselves don't exactly look like Brad Pitt.

Our gym has a great nursery, after I work out I take our daughter 2yrs old over to the raquetball court and we play around with rolling the large exercise balls around etc..so my daughter loves to go up there. I have tried to get her interested...in subtle ways. I go to the gym 3 or 4 times a week, never longer than an hour. And the gym is about 2 miles from my house. Being overweight and out of shape is as much a state of mind as it is a state of body. Damn, I Sure have ruffled some feathers here..... : (
