    Yes, he is overweight. He says that he wants to get in shape but he never goes to the gym with me. I DO feel like he is doing this on purpose. I have told him that before. I don't know. All I know is that from now on NO means NO. I'm putting my foot down.

    I used to kind of be like him.... when my hubby would get motivated, I would completely shut down (as far as wanting to even try to lose weight). I don't know why I did it because it doesn't make a whole lot of sense! yeah, when he would be "good" about his eating, I would be bad, when he would go to the gym, I would sit and pout on the couch...I think probably because I was totally depressed and overwhelmed the amount of weight that I had to lose. I don't understand it.... but he could be feeling a little bit like that. If you try and are successful and he tries and isn't well, then he feels like a failure. It's always easier to just not try than it is to try and then fail.
    Push onward girl - get angry and forceful about it... call him on doing it on purpose...like you said, put your foot down!
    GL!
