Unsure

He obviously loves you, but you need to start loving yourself! If losing weight will help, then do it! Also, the health part is really important too! Tell him that you are glad that he loves you the way you are but you need to do this for YOU! Friend me if you want and I would love to help motivate you!

Welcome! I know it can seem overwhelming at first, but just start with small steps. If this is going to be a lifestyle change, it is going to take time, so you will need patience. But believe me, you are going to be so glad you did!!! Just start by changing your eating habits, try to eat more home cooked meals rather than fast food. It sounds like you have an awesome husband, but he is going to need to be supportive of the changes you want to make (that would mean NOT bringing home fast food, or at least understanding when you don't want to eat it). You can do this, and there are a lot of great people on this site who can support and help you. Good luck!

Wow, I thought I was reading my own story there for a minute right down to the almost 350lbs, the video gaming and the feelings you shared. Oh and yea my hubby also brings home fast food and sweets. He's also the one that got me into online mmorpgs, which are video games, and a huge way of escape. But I think for me they haven't been a good thing. Anyway I'm in the process of trying to put some joy and meaning back into my life, and with that I know my weight issues have to be addressed. So lets be weight loss buddies and do this together Sending you a friend invite

Your husband sounds like a wonderful man! You said that exercise makes you uncomfortable........... do something you enjoy! I don't know if you have tried her videos yet, but Leslie Sansone is awesome! Her at home walking dvds are great! You can start out low impact and as you progress, you can take it to another level with more intensity. I am doing her videos now and I think that she is great! They are easy to do and still give you a good workout. As for food..... it is hard, I understand. I love food! I love carbs! But what if you start out with baby steps. Like for example, NO SODA only water. That will make a big difference. Then cut out something else, like candy. Have a treat every once in awhile but try not to go back to any soda/juices/sweet tea, etc. I think that sometimes we are more likely to stick with an eating plan if we take little steps at a time, not huge ones all at once. Though huge steps might work for some, little steps might work for others. I know if I feel deprived, I won't stick with it. BUT everyone is different and you have to do what's best for you. This site is awesome cause it really makes you aware of what you are eating and how bad certain foods are for us. For example, I used to eat mac-n-cheese all the time! When I found out that a small amount is 400 calories, I was shocked and try not to eat it anymore. Tracking your foods will help a lot. Plus, there is some good people on here that will give their advice and help motivate you! You can do this!

If you love to dance, then dance! Don't wait for a video game, turn on the music and go nuts. Exercise doesn't have to be something to dread...it can be fun, I swear. If dancing is what gets you moving, then just do that for now. I seriously used to HATE exercising, but now I can't live without it. Have fun!

Hi there. I'm also a gamer, MMO and single player. It leaves me far to sedentary for my own good I have to admit. I do own a Wii, but it's gathering dust somewhere in a cupboard.

I hate exercise too. Mainly because my muscles have turned into custard and I'm huffing and puffing after the lightest type of exercise.
I've been walking a lot, but the weather is awful here at the moment. I might have to order one of those Leslie Sansone videos to do at home. I looked at some other videos (30 day shred) but they seemed far to advanced. Leslie seems to be at a level I can manage, and she's so nice and has normal people in the background so I won't feel so bad doing my thing. You might want to take a look at her videos too?

Edit; If you like dancing you might want to try Zumba: http://www.zumba.com/
Several people swear by it over here on MFP and it's supposed to be a lot of fun.

Hi! Leslie Sansone has awesome videos! I am doing her 4 Fast Miles dvd right now. It is 50 mins long and very encouraging! I like that you can modify it or add intensity to it when you build up to that! I have noticed a change in my thighs and hips since I have been sticking with her workout. I'm just wanting on my belly to go down. Sick of looking like I'm pregnant when I'm not lol.
