[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you want your spouse to support you? Express their concern for you regarding your weight? Express their concern for themselves and your future lives together?  My DH is morbidly obese. He is addicted to food and goes through at least 3 cycles a year where he'll  try to do something about it, and he inevitably fails. I have been through so many cycles that I can muster only minimal support and encouragement for the latest attempt at getting his weight under control. His parents have horrible weight-related issues, and he will too. I have said, kindly, that their path is his - it's only a matter of time.

I don't know what to do, and the resentment is building as I see his choices negatively impacting himself, and the future lives of myself and our kids.

I am at a loss. I want to be kind, I want to be gentle, and I want to be supportive. But, after so many years of the cycles, the denial, the food addiction, and seeing his parents' spiraling health, I'm becoming desperate. [/quote]

Keep it out of the house and cook at home, reduce going out to restaurants. [/quote]
