Hang in there, honey - I completely relate to all you are going through with your hubby and your personal journey with weight loss. I read the forum posts and completely have experienced exactly what you have. I think Kay gave the best advice - even though for me it is the toughest to do. In reading your posts I would say I am JUST like you in how you are trying and your approach to helping him, and I agree that Kay is right in that we need to just lead that old stubborn horse to water and just let him figure out when he is ready to drink. Over time, it will come - and if not, you can rest assured that you have done all you can in your power to help. Make your diet YOUR fight. My hubby is SLLLLLLOOOOWWWWLY coming around, but I wish he could just "do what I am doing" and it would be all good! But if I just sit back and let him start processing and understanding in his own head about the magnitude of his health problem, he will *hopefully* come around in his own time. Just be content in knowing you are on the right path, you "get it", and you can only control the choices YOU make. Be proud of your efforts! Be so thrilled about what you are doing and protect it - this is your "baby" to work on right now and let nobody bring you down about it. Sometimes my being so happy about taking care of ME just forces hubby to either join in or just back off. I think I am slowly "winning", as long as I let him think he is figuring it all out on his own. Good luck to you and just keep going! You can totally do this!
