Hi everyone!
I am so happy to have found this forum!! My name is Liz and I live in Fargo, ND. I recently gained 30 lbs (30 lbs which I had lost!) and I am getting no support from my husband, only criticism. Something he is very good at, but never does he compliment me when my weight is down. Which is why I am here. He looked at a picture of me back in October when I was in Italy and he said, "Oh yeah, you were thinner here weren't you?" The thing is, he always makes comments like this and I have told him repeatedly how much it hurts me, and only then does he apologize, when the damage has already been done.
So I am here to meet you nice people and get the encouragement that I need to again lose that weight and keep it off. My problem is not lack of exercise. I actually love exercise. I play tennis 4 to 5 times a week and I workout with a trainer 3x's a week as well as doing some cardio on my own. My problem is with food. I eat even when I am not hungry and for some reason, this time it has been harder for me to jumpstart my weight loss than usual. I have a condition called Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome which makes it harder than the average person to lose weight. I get twice as many calories out of food than people who don't have this disease. So, when I lose weight, it really is a serious accomplishment because it's like fighting an uphill battle. My husband is a Dr., and he knows the complications of my disease, yet he remains unsupportive and only critical so I have come to terms with the fact that I will just have to do this on my own because I have no family here. All my family are in California. We are here because of my husbands career. I gave up my career to be here with him. Who knows....maybe when I get to my goal weight, I'll dump him because I am beginning to realize that he doesn't deserve me.
What a mess....sorry guys. Didn't mean to spill my lifes problems out here, but I just really need someone to talk to.
Thanks for reading this everyone and I hope you all have a fabulous Memorial Day weekend!
