Being angry...new weight loss regime?

Recently there have been a lot of threads from people who are angry with their "husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend/significant other/insignificant other" (delete as applicable).

Is being angry the 'in vogue' weight loss regime or am I missing something? ;)

    Nothing says 'I love you' like incessantly nagging that special someone in your life to change... (Hallmark)

    Didn't you know? Modern love is really all about control over your partner's life.

    I don't know about anyone else, but being angry earns me extra calories. :bigsmile:

    Call me old school. I find all this public flogging of partners distasteful.

    Whining is not the same as wining. (The latter has nicer glasses.)

    The problem is that people decide to make these "lifestyle" changes and then they expect everyone around them to do the same not understanding that people do things in their own time...or sometimes they don't. It tends to wear off once people actually get into the rigors or their new "lifestyle"...people are all gung-ho in the beginning of things.

    I think there are 2 different kinda threads actually: there is 1 where the poster is upset, because the other half is not doing anything about their weight and then there is another where the poster is upset that the other half is sabotaging their weight loss.

    I find the latter fits here somewhat, although they should probably talk and try to sort it out at home rather then with a forum full of internet strangers.

    However, the former ... I just want to bang my head on the table repeatedly, because honestly if your partner 'lets themselves go' you have 2 choices: you either stay or you go. Either way, going to some internet strangers to get validation for your point is just above ringing into your local radio station and asking this question live on air.
