Vent Page

First time I've seen this page, but I'm so glad that I did. Here's my vent for the day.....My husband lost about 60 pounds a year and a half ago. Since then he's put about 40 pounds back on. I tell him all the time that I don't care how he looks, but I do wish that he would try to eat better, take care of himself, be a little healthier. He procedes to tell me that it's his body and he'll do what makes him happy. In the meantime, I'm busting my *kitten*, eating right, drinking water and down 11 pounds. Lately he's been making me really uncomfortable about it. He'll comment about what I'm eating, the amount I'm eating, logging what I'm eating, how long I exercise for, what intensity I do that day, logging the exercise that I do, and how none of it matters anyways, I should just do what makes me happy. Well, guess what?!?! I AM!! I feel better, look better, and have more energy. Sometimes, I want to look at him and tell him that he's a jealous, insecure, lazy, quitter. I can't stand that he can't be supportive of me now when I need it the most! And to top it all off, he just called from work to tell me that he's bringing home a pizza for dinner (my fave). I asked him to pick me up a salad to go along with it and he started in about how I need to eat like a regular person. WTH!?!

I have a nine year old! I know EXACTLY what you mean!! :laugh: This morning she stepped over a sweater laying in the middle of her floor to tell me that she lost her sweater!! I pointed at it and she looked at me like I was speaking Greek!! Good Luck!

I definitley need this page right now. I am so livid I can't see straight. I have dieted several times and I know that every time I have gained the weight back it was because I had things going on in my life that made me stop wanting to stick to my healthy eating and working out. Had I kept it up I would have kept the weight off. Twice I lost quite a bit and kept it off for a couple of years when I was dedicated but when stressful things came up in my life or as in last year when I had some major health problems and was unable to workout I just kind of let my eating get off track but this last time has been ridiculous. I still haven't figured out why I had this major weight gain this last time because the weight just FLEW on but now doing what I have ALWAYS done in the past that has ALWAYS worked for me I can't lose a DAMN pound!!!! I am so pissed and SO sick of hearing that it takes time, I might be gaining muscle, losing inches blah blah blah. Obviously that is NOT the case. Tomorrow will mark 6 weeks since I have started this and I have given up EVERYTHING that I used to do. I was drinking a couple mochas a week, eating cookies with my meals and desserts in general. We would eat fast food quite a bit and while I didn't eat the large meals (usually ate the kids meals) I still had fries and burgers. I have not had 1 fry, 1 burger or 1 mocha since December. I have given up my desserts and only allow myself a small serving of non fat yogurt after dinner (1/4 cup). I am sticking to the calories that the site tells me to eat and I KNOW I have prob cut my intake in half if not more of what I was eating before as well as eating MUCH healthier. I am working out 6 days a week a minimum of 30 mins to 60 mins a day. I feel like I am killing myself am hungry half the time so am always trying to eat every few hours these puny "healthy" snacks and just WAITING till I can eat something again cuz it never seems to be enough food but I have to stay in my calorie range. WHYYYYYY am I doing all this crap when I can't lose ANY weight. This is ridiculous. ALL my clothes are just as tight as ever. I KNOW what it feels like to feel like some weight has come off and I look just as fat as ever. I am so livid I can't see. WHY am I killing myself when NOTHING is happening! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Oh I have an 8 year old! His favorite scathing look is "you're an idiot"...18 really can't come fast enough! I don't even care if he goes to college or becomes a tradesman, or joins a band, just stop looking at me like that!

:grumble: my vent I know money is tight but not only is it valentines day its our aniversery,flowers would have been nice.

My rant is my wife loves to "share" food with me, such as she will purchase a candy bar and then give the second half to me, which I told her pointedly before she bought it that I didn't want it in the first place. She also knows that I hate to waste food, so she'll threaten to throw it away if I don't eat it. Along these lines is we make a list every week of what to get at the store, I pointedly ask, "what do you want to eat during the week?". I then hear the rest of the week that we don't have anything to eat in the house.
