[QUOTE="Star*, post: 487638, member: 4964"] When things are going to heck? You (meaning any of us) should realize that the ONLY person YOU are in control of is YOU. If Tony is NOT being supportive of the lifestyle changes? Then too bad for Tony - Does it make it easier when someone in a house supports someone in a dieting type lifestyle change? Absolutely - but should the ALTERNATIVE to non-supportal spouses be "Well I'm just going to go back to my old, bad eating habits and show him/her?" NO. The things that we do to improve OURSELVES? Are to improve OURSELVES - NOT to improve or get approval from a spouse. When YOU (diet) and I hate that word so I say lifestyle change because if you are serious about loosing weight? YOU HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE-STYLE - not just your eating habits, and realize the weight took years to go on, it will take years to come off. A two pound loss a week is phenominal, safe and about the average. Here's an example of FALSE advertising....... You see a very large, obsese woman on a commercial for diet pills, drinks, shakes, exercise videos. You, me others can relate to her at one time or another being or having heen overweight.
