Oh my...my heart aches for you. Men can sometimes be so dang insensitive. I'm feeling both ways...one, I would certainly consider Emily's post but the other side of me is thinking kind of like Kitann.
I have battled my weight all my life...except for a very successful loss about 15 years ago. Then life, divorce, depression, work...you name it, I ate my way through it. I was still on the good side of my weight when I met my new DH, but shortly after that...UGH, I wish I could have that time back to make better choices.
I did the anti-anxiety, depression meds but HATED the way I felt on them. I talked daily to my mom about "wanting" to lose weight and alas, I would do well for a few days only to get run over once again by that weight-loss wagon. I got off the meds and decided I had control over me and nobody and nothing else did...only me.
Then one day it hit me...I didn't want to be this way and since that day back in mid-September pretty much NOTHING has derailed me. I can count on a half of a hand how many times something has entered my mouth that should not have. I have had some slow periods, no loss periods, gaining periods but I am committed to the long haul and this is my life now.
The feelings of anxiety and depression left and in their place, increased energy, smiles and brain power. Eating lowcarb has definitely been a Godsend for me.
It's all in the personal motivation and dedication. Only you can choose how you want to live. It makes it so much nicer without the spousal pressure...but YOU have to make those choices.
I wish you success in finding your way through this journey -
Deanna
