SPOUSE & PARTNER SABOTAGE

Posts: 48
There are several posts today that are related to lack of spousal or partner support. This is a tough one for sure. It's no different than a recovering alcholic or drug addict living with someone still using--the temptation will be there and there's no getting around it. Just don't cave and let them have power over you and your goals.
Just remember: it's YOUR choice to lose weight and get fit, no one else's; YOU are in control of it, not someone else. YOU are the one that has to be strong, to use the support group here or elsewhere. If you aren't getting support at home, get it somewhere!
Be strong. Just say, "For today I'm not giving in to it." Do that one day at a time.
[this is coming from experience in a 12-step program--I've been clean & sober for 31 years. Support groups help a LOT!]
