hello! im new here but not new to loosing weight. I started in april 08. since then ive lost 60lbs, but still have about 100 to go to reach my goal. so, this forum seemed like the perfect one for me
i just cant stress enouph how motivating this site is for me. I keep coming back just to read everyone's thoughts and see all the wonderful pictures. so i just wanted to say hi! my husband thinks im becoming "obsessed" with my lfiestyle change. he says thats all i think about is eating right and working out. i told him today that he needs to be more supportive. dont get me wrong. we have a very good marriage. he is a wonderful guy and a wonderful father. I just wonder how i can make him see how important this is to me. i just wish he understood how hard it is, and how it has to consume my thoughts. otherwise, i will stray...
Hi HVeevk - Congrats on your weight loss. That's fantastic.
I love 3fatchicks, too. Yes, it's an awesome place for lots of ideas, support and friendship as you journey towards better health. Please, post as often as you like.
I hope you HD becomes more supportive of your journey. It's helpful. Perhaps you could explain how it's not always easy to eat the right things, that it's hard making these lifestyle changes. Hopefully, he'll understand. But, if he doesn't, then please come here for support.
Welcome! Congrats on your weight loss as well, you have done fantastic!
It is very important to have support on your weight loss, if nothing else to know that other people go through the same struggles on a daily basis. My husband is very skinny and he is supportive but he has a completely different relationship with food than I do. So it is sometimes hard for us to relate on that.
Welcome HVEECK! You have come to the right place for support and encouragement! I could have written your post about your DH. I'm in the same boat right now. My DH desperately needs to think about his health and weight, but he's not. I know pushing him will not do anything but push him further away. I'm hoping as he sees my healthy improvements he'll start to make his own. He's a wonderful man, but since I'm not getting quite the support I need from him I find it here and with other friends in my life.
I love, love, love this site also! Joined about a month ago and I'm obsessed with it. I wish I could hook it up to my gazelle and read and walk at the same time... I'd be one onderland in no time!
to 3fc site and to this thread. on how well you have done so far keep up the good work.
I am fortunately that I have a supportive DH who was always lighter than me in weight but never the less overweight. We embarked on the healthy eating journey together and we have kept each other going through the bumpy patches. For the first time now in our relationship I am lighter than he is only by 30lbs but I am hanging on to that for grim death
I really hope your DH becomes more support over the coming months regarding you losing weight and becoming healthier in general.

Maybe that is almost all you think about - but to my way of thinking, if you are changing a very long-standing habit (or especially, as in this case, a whole collection of habits), it's normal and necessary to focus on it for a while. If these habits are deeply ingrained by years or decades of practice, there's no reason to expect only a few weeks or months of focus on new habits to be enough.
3fc is great isn't it? I'm obsessed with the new eating habits and exercise too. I agree with the poster that said you almost have to be obsessed when it's a huge change in your thinking and habits. I think it's starting to become second nature to me now, so I don't drive everybody around me crazy so much. Congrat's on your progress so far, you're doing great!
i love this site!
