I agree with all of the above. 1. Run don't walk from this jerk. 2. Get some counselling. You are a worthy person in your own right. 3. Find a local women's support group of some sort. I guess on line at MFP is a start. But a local in person group that meets once a week would be much better. At the risk of being blasted…

NW Bob spent almost $900 on a gym last year and rarely used it. It gets below freezing here and rains a lot. I just dress for the weather and get outside and walk, usually with the dog.

The thing about water for me is that it helps curtail hunger. I try to drink a glass each time before I eat. I also try to wait 10 minutes after I drink it to eat.

Several years ago, before it became all the rage, NW Bob found that people who had had clostridium difficile could also become gluten intolerant. I had c. diff. from colon surgery years before that.

Half a cup serving of Jello Instant No fat no sugar pudding. Make it with skim milk. I got the idea from Nutrisystem. They have an instant pudding dessert in their mix. I discovered I could do the same thing with Jello on the open market for way less money.

Half a cup of plain oatmeal with 10 grams of raisins for flavor 1 banana sliced with half a cup of plain fat free yogurt 1 egg fried or hard boiled 2 glasses of water and a cup of tea Doesn't sound that great but I look forward to it every morning. It tastes pretty good and it is satisfying to me.

I vote with the "Thank you for noticing" group. After losing 30 pounds, it really showed in my face and in my clothes. I had to buy some new pants and belts because I lost 2 inches of waist. I am glad I did not do all this starving from nothing.
