Spouse or better 1/2 support

Ok, i would not critique your wife in how she wants to lose weight - but obviously she is wanting to right? I am surprised that she would not return the support. Perhaps you can ask her why?

During one of my attempts to lose weight in my past, my boyfriend would sabotage me and my efforts by picking up fast food, getting junk food..etc. This time around - he is a lot better about that. I think for him a lot of it was fear. He could have been scared that if i lost weight i may

- find someone else
- pressure him to lose weight
- would not have someone to eat crap food with him anymore

maybe some of these are the reasons why your wife is not supportive of your efforts as well? More than likely, she is scared...or jealous?

My husband isn't so much supportive as he is stationed overseas, but in our communications he is very supportive. He doesn't like going out to eat because of the cost and when he is home he doesn't really cook. When I'm back to cooking for him, too, he'll find himself on a diet of lean meats and fresh vegetables unless he wants to learn how to cook something other than chili.

I don't get any support from friends or family. They get really akward if I say anything about it, probably because they could all use to lose more weight then me. I think that they believe that I will judge them or tell them to change themselves...

My husband is a sweetheart. He just tells me that I am beautiful no matter what and he thinks I'm sexy as hell. That is great, but not very motivating. If everyone thinks I'm good the way I am, why should I work my butt off? I have very healthy weight goals, and my stretch marks would like to differ on me being the weight I should be..

My boyfriend says I have a "horrible diet" and I "work out too much," but he loves my body, so he can't have it both ways. I just remind him that not everyone can have a six pack while eating 5 lb burritos every day and working out once a week, and if he wants me 15 lbs heavier (in all the wrong places) then I can stop.

My husband is 1/2 on and 1/2 off the wagon with me. He plays along but doesnt always log and doesnt seem thrilled about working out. I told him tonight " either you want it or not, but i want it"

Im not sounding as snarky as it seems but I mean if hes not in, i cant have him hold me back. im going to do it without him.

My husband is my biggest supporter! We started this lifestyle change together and he is always encouraging me.

My boyfriend is such a big support. He doesn't need to lose any weight, but we eat pretty much the same things. We both naturally prefer lower carb meals, so it works out well. I just give him a bigger helping, it breaks down to about 60/40.

He is really good about motivating me when I don't want to exercise. It is really important that I don't skip a day because I use cardio to help control my Tourette Syndrome. I made a choice when I got diagnosed to live without medication, and the Tourettes is pretty managable if I do an hour of cardio a day. If I skip 1 day, I usually end up not being able to sleep that night, and things spiral downward from there. But sometimes I feel cranky and sorry for myself and don't want to get on the damn stationary bike. My lovey will calmly talk me through it. I'm lucky to have him

I think that it is important that I keep my choices mine and not expect him to alter his life. I see a lot of couples on here have difficulty when one half of the relationship changes their habits, and gets offended if the other person doesn't change with them. I KNOW my boyfriend wouldn't be as supportive if I expected him to change the way he eats, not have sweets, or pestered him to exercise.
