Embarrassed once and does not want to go through that again

You will find support here, but brother, your first hurdle should be honesty and openness in your own home. I gotta say I was a little bummed by the part where you said it took everything you had not to tear up in front of your wife and son. If you don't let them into your heart and passions, your little safety buffer will probably buffer support from where it is most meaningful as well. I'd be happy to support you, but it may read like this once in a while. Friend me if you dare (and that goes for the rest of you as well).

My wife and I are talking tonight. I sent her an email...

I am so glad to see this response, Charlie, because it was bothering me too. If you don't have the support of your family, then this journey is nearly impossible! Having someone to talk it out with, especially late at night (when bad cravings are high) can help you tremendously.

I know it is different for women (which is sad) but I have cried to my hubby many times on my journey. He has been my greatest support and cheerleader! You are amazing, and you can do this!

The only advice that I can add is make sure to log everything, even if you cheat or have a really bad food day. That is another eye opener! Once you see what you are actually consuming, it becomes easier to really reduce your intake. Be honest. You have already proven that you can do this. Good luck. This site is wonderful!
