[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 560898, member: 1233"] Janet, that is BIZARRE! A family friend went for a long time and they talked about food a lot. Esp about how they used food to deal with feelings, and healthier ways to handle feelings and to handle food. She got some awesome recipes there. Did they actually serve cookies at OA??? How bizarre is that????? Don't go if that is what the OA meetings are about! I don't know how you or your husband feel about religion, but there is a program called Weigh Down that several friends in several states have had good results with. it is christian oriented, but has men and women and they deal with a lot of aspects of overeating and self esteem and coping. One friend was a real mess because her husband was using her weight to control her and they totally helped her get a healthier body, healthier perspective and healthier self esteem so she was able to tell her husband to either go to therapy iwht and with-o her or to get out. They did get help and they say the last five years of their marriage are the absolute best and they wish they had done it the first year of marriage instead of waiting ten yrs to do it. The other person I know was in a different state and had really good results. Both were from Christian churches of some brand, but I have no clue which brand of christan church. You CAN find classes, nutritionists and resources through your community hospital. If your husband is going to keep spending the $$ on the dr, why not spend it to have a PT oversee a workout for him? I don't know if you want to do this as a couple's thing, but I do know that having someone go through it with you is a huge source of support. Maybe start wth short walks? Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
