[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He’s 37 and has struggled with his weight since he was a kid.

When we met about 10 years ago, he was around 210 lbs at 5’8”. Then he went on a big exercise/diet push and got down to about 145 lbs. He managed to stay in the 140s/150s until our daughter was born in 2016, so for about 3 years. Then he put all the weight back on. He’s gone between about 185 and 210. He is just starting another push to lose weight.

[b]I honestly don’t see him snacking too much[/b]. We both work from home and my workspace is right near the kitchen, so I’d definitely see it. He eats pretty well. For example, today for lunch he had 2 scrambled eggs with some lox. He gave up diet soda and is drinking tea with Splenda.

He is a good runner and that’s how he likes to exercise. He ran 3.5 miles in his workout last night.

What can I do to support him? If I ask, he won’t really say, but I want to be able to help. I’m at a normal weight, so I can’t share in the weight loss journey itself.[/quote]

The fact that you see him eating well and can't understand how is eats well and gains/struggles to lose weight suggests that he is consuming calories in private.

This is very common with binge eating disorder and those who have a poor relationship with food. [/quote]
