How has this changed your relationships?

All my family and most friends have been supportive. I have even encouraged my husband to start working out and he has lost 35lbs on his own. The only thing I hate is when my coworkers question my food choices. One even calls me the "skinny bitch". I know she is just playing with me but it does get annoying sometimes.

I've stopped weighing myself, and I used to say either in my head or out loud I'm fat. I still might say it but it passes, it used to be followed by a trip to the fridge for comfort eating. I might say it and move on , I have to remind myself that I'm working on it but the negative feelings pass. I used to obsess about it and feel hopeless, that is a big difference. I have to look at my real issues and not hide behind weight so much.

As for my husband he is the same as he ever was, I was heavy in highschool and when we married so no big deal there. My mom is constantly telling me how great I look but I only see small changes. She and I and my entire family have weight issues.

The only thing that buggs me a little is the way I want to make even healthy-er choices but I can't change the world around me ie.. people I dine with, and also to be honest I still have bad days when I just need a candy bar. But I'm working on it and it will pass I don't have to binge, in fact it's impossible to truly binge like I used to.

Phantamagoria, I couldn't just read your post and not comment. Your situation breaks my heart, and I pray that your boyfriend will see the pain that his lack of support is causing you. I pray that he "sees the light" before he destroys your relationship, and I pray that your will be able to find strength to do what is best for YOU, whatever that may be.
