Start Weight:	(23 Dec 11) 243.0 lb
Current Weight:	(15 Feb 13) 230.0 lb
Goal Weight:	175.0 lb

following: wichitaks's own diet
performance: Steady

I have struggled with weight for my whole life. I have been up and down on the scales but mostly UP. Right before Christmas (REALLY crappy timing) I was having headaches, went to the Dr and was diagnosed with High Blood pressure. The next week I was also diagnosed with Diabetes. NO warning, and NO symptoms. I should not have been so SHOCKED as I was with my family history, but I was floored and cried for three days. I have been on "diets" in the past, BUT have not been fully 100% commited to getting healthy. I am now 100% commited and ready to loose the weight. I am new to FS and I am so happy that everyone seems so encouraging. Hopefully 2012 will bring GREAT things and smaller Jeans!!!!

Spouse Not Supportive
I don't know if this can help at all but I know what I do with my hubby that seems to work. I will let him know what I am making for dinner, If he does not want what I am having or like what I am having I give him the option to either A) make something for himself, or B) go get fast food but not whatever I was craving at the moment. IE, You can get fast food just not Wendy's Chicken Sandwich.
At first he did a lot of fast food runs then he realized what I was eating was actually yummier than what he was eating so he started wanting what I was having. There are still days he doesn't want what I am having and he will make his own or go out but he is slowly coming around. When he did decide to make a fast food run I would be sure to have my dinner done and started to eat before he got back or I would end up getting frustrated with what I was eating. I had to make a choice to be happy about what I was doing as well as what he was doing and not get angry/frustrated/upset when he decided to eat something different.
We also have one cabinet that I under NO circumstances open because it is his cabinet. It is filled with candy, chips, cookies, brownies, snack cakes, etc. As long as I don't see it I am ok with it, BUT when he gets something out and leaves it on the counter and I am craving it it gets dumped out in the trash can so I can not eat it. YES he has been irritated more than once, BUT it only took him a few times of dumping out his skittles or M&M's to remember he has to put them away.
I am sure your hubby loves you and If he is like mine he does not realize the time, energy and effort you are putting into this yet. Stand your ground, Make healthy meals for yourself and let him make his choices. If he chooses not to eat whatever you are eating be ok with that and don't get mad/upset/irritated. Be happy that you are doing something for yourself.
