[QUOTE="slsh, post: 560783, member: 8"] Amen!!!! That is exactly how I feel about it. husband has always been big, has gotten worse in the last 10 years (except he did lose a significant amt of weight on Weight Watchers a couple years ago - but he felt "starved" and didn't keep with it.... sigh). He can do what he wants but he needs to suffer the consequences IN SILENCE!!! I don't want to hear about, or pay for it. Funny thing is, I've always been less than patient with his illnesses - even when he's legitimately sick. I think it's mainly fear on my part, but even with a cold... he doesn't get a lot of nurturing from me. I think taking care of the kids has maxed me out completely (or I'm just a lousy wife). I almost feel like *he's* the one being passive-aggressive here - like he'll eventually get big enough or sick enough or they'll find something "bad" enough where I will have to be his nurse too. I've fantasized about sending him off to the TV show "Biggest Losers." :winking: And no.... for some reason neither his PCP or knee guy *ever* mention weight loss to him. Hunh???? I even asked the nurse at the last knee appointment to tell him to lose weight - she said, "Oh no, we don't do that." Guess it guarantees return visits. UGH! [/QUOTE]
