| That is great news! Just remember to consume at least 1200 calories a day...you dont want to put your body in starvation mode!

Well guys I explained the whole life change thing to him. He wasn't really buying it but we decided to call him grandmother who is a RN and run everything past her. She thought it was great. She told him this is an excellent thing not only for me but my two boys. He actually accepted it and is o.k. with it now. Everything going great. I weighed in today and I lost 3 pound my first week. I feel much better. Thank you all for your great advice.

| I agree with telling him that you are stopping dieting, but instead are choosing to live a healthier lifestyle, exercising, eating healthy, and actually this is good advice as to what road to pursue in terms of actually exercising

Yeah, definately a good idea to check it with your doctor - make sure you're going about it in the best way. And a lot of the time if an official "authority figure" says something is so, people will accept it easier.
Let us know how it goes at the doctors!

Fiesty,
That's a good idea. Maybe if my doctor explains that it's ok to him, he'll understand more. I'm going to talk to him and make an appointment asap. It's probably a good idea to run my diet past my doctor anyway. Thanks so much for the great advice.

Hottie,
Maybe he is afraid of me leaving. I know he is insecure already. That's probably why he is acting like this. I'm going to talk to him tonight about it. I'll keep you posted.
Thanks

How about if you stop "dieting" and tell him you are adopting a healthy lifestyle for yourself and your kids. He shouldn't see anything wrong with wanting to better yourself and make sure your kids grow up with the knowledge to make healthy choices.
Do you think he's jealous and afraid if you loss the weight you'll leave him or other guys will be interested in you?
If he doesn't support you and want the best for you and your kids maybe him leaving would be a blessing is disguise???

Have you talked to a doctor about your weight? Is it a health concern? Maybe if you had your doctor explain to him that you need to get to a healthy weight, and discuss good diet practices with the doctor with him there, it could get it across to him.
Maybe you could come to a compromise, agree to raise your caloric intake a little and take it more gradually, and to follow the doctor's advice, if he'll accept that you need to lose the weight and that you need his support in doing so.
Good luck!

Hi, my name is Amber and I am 22 y/o. I have been with my fiance for 3 years. We have a 20 month old together and I have a 8 y/o from a previous relationship. The problem is he is threatening to leave me if I don't stop dieting. He is 6 foot 1 and weighs maybe 160 lbs. He has no problem with his weight. I on the other hand have not lost a pound since I had the baby. I weigh 198 and am 5 foot 4. I need to lose weight but he thinks I am starving myself. I consume about 1200 calories sometimes a little less sometimes a little more. I don't know what to do. He says I don't need to lose weight. I know I do. I don't want to lose him. My kids would be devasted if we split. Any advice?
Amber
