He knows that I LOVE chocolate, even though I try not to eat it much, and every once in awhile he'll come in with a bag of something chocolate and not realize why I'm not overjoyed at his offering. I'll never get it.<br><br>Keep up the awesome work! I wore jeans over the weekend that I have not been able to button comfortably since January. I'm happy about that.<br><br>Hugs,<br>SusanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750848569067701921.post-57394126197632762502005-07-11T14:56:00.000-07:002005-07-11T14:56:00.000-07:00I have to admit that I used to do the same thing t...I have to admit that I used to do the same thing to my wife when she was on the Atkins diet. I didnt do it to be mean or to be sarcastic.<br>Mostly it was because I forgot she was on a diet.<br>How could I forget that ??<br>Because to me she looked fine. I didnt she her, the way she saw herself.<br>But eventually I learned to be more supportive and work with her. But I still explained to her that I was doing it for her. because she looked great to me, no matter how much she weighed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750848569067701921.post-8928833481760722442005-07-11T15:59:00.000-07:002005-07-11T15:59:00.000-07:00You poor dear!

I think your husband wants to sabotage your diet of sorts without realizing it because well ... the idea of you losing weight probably threatens his already low self esteem. Men don't always know they are doing this or that they are depressed and the worst part is trying to convince them they need some help is like trying to make a lead balloon fly.<br><br>sounds to me like you have your hands full with all the family issues yourself and he is trying to cop out of the burden because he doesn't know how to fix it. Men like to fix, provide and protect and if they can't do that stuff they get all stressed out.<br><br>i understand where he might want things to stay the same but really he does want change ... obviously you know that already. I wish I had some great advice as to how to get him out of his 'funk' but unfortunately I don't. If I did I wouldn't get into them myself.<br><br>unfortunately some of us are more prone to get depressed than others. Try getting him to go for an evening walk together and see if maybe kindness doens't evenutally come forth through excercise and chatting.<br><br>why did you two fall in love? Remind him. that's all I can offer, I sure hope you two find some joy and peace in each other again soon.<br><br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750848569067701921.post-31179100403842948112005-07-11T16:09:00.000-07:002005-07-11T16:09:00.000-07:00Ouch.Gifts like that really prey on your good mann...Ouch.<br>Gifts like that really prey on your good manners. You don't want to sound ungrateful, but... gee whiz... you have to watch your sugar.<br>Been going through the same overstressed Hubby spell too. Must be the season for it.<br>I asked for a small package of M&M's... I got a huge gallon of wickedly chocolate & caramel ice cream.<br>He meant well, but was not listening.<br>Good luck to the both of you... I hope the stress ends soon for him so thqat you both can get some balance back into your lives.<br>(((((Hugs)))))<br>LorettaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750848569067701921.post-83454980068697901862005-07-11T19:31:00.000-07:002005-07-11T19:31:00.000-07:00Dawn,Gary is like that too.

His answer to this is that he still see the young, sexy girl he married. A sweet answer but still a stupid choice brining hom chocolate. Then just when I thought there was no hope left for him, today he brings home flowers. Go figure.
