Weighty Matters: Is your spouse sabotaging your weight management efforts? Please RT!
This link came my way via my blog reading list today.
I have personal experience of having been with a boyfriend in 2003/4 when we were both obese, but he was happy with the situation and I was not. Whatever I tried to do to lose weight, he sabotaged. At one point I started attending a Rosemary Conley diet and exercise class. He would pick me up from the class in his car, and then take me out for a slap-up meal.
I once suggested to him that we both consider WLS, but he was totally uninterested in improving his health (he was 25 stone so bigger and more obese/higher BMI than me -- he already had diabetes and sleep apnoea back then, but he just accepted the diabetic meds and CPAP machine as part of his life).
Although he did adore me and would do anything for me (as long as it meant we could still eat big meals together) his attitude was a large part of the reason why we broke up.
I'm sure some of you have similar experiences ...?
