I have no trouble being 'good' around my family, but my husband and his family are Italian and they love big portions and pasta and cheese. My husband likes food, period, and a lot of it. He has tried weight loss before, and was successful, losing around 75 pounds. This was after learning he was a type 2 diabetic. Now, he has gained it all back, and has been eating poorly for quite a while.
After trying several times to diet together, I decided finally to do WW on my own. My feeling is that if he wants to do it, he will along with me. I just don't want to feel like I am responsible for someone else's successes and failures and I need to look out for myself instead of trying to motivate my husband constantly. When one of us fails, the other one usually follows...we aren't very good at supporting one another (ie if one of us wants pizza, the other one usually says 'sure'). So, I'm doing WW on my own, while my husband who has about 120 pounds to lose just gets heavier and heavier. I do all of the grocery shopping and buy only healthy things, so he buys his own junk when he's out and eats what I cook for the most part at home. So, it's not too difficult for me to stay on track because the right food IS at home. It's just hard because I wish we could be on the same page, entirely. I also sometimes look at him and because he's not willing to change, or motivated enough to change, I think if he's not going to get healthier, why should I? Other times it fuels my fire and I feel like doing better.
Is anyone in a similar situation?
