Sarahbell: I am sorry to hear that you are struggling with a lack of support and even worse with issues that appear to be more based on insecurities of your DH. In the early years of our marriage my DH was quite a jealous guy. It had way more to do with him than any actions on my part. Luckily we worked through it and about the only advice I can give you is to continue to reassure him that you love him. In time, hopefully, he will see that the changes you are making are a positive thing for your family and you especially. I'm sure he has seen or heard about someone whose spouse lost weight and wandered, so this feeds his fears.

It really comes down to the reason you are doing this and that you are the only one who can hold yourself accountable for staying OP and getting to your goal. If you allow others to be the reason you fail or succeed you lose all control. I think IP is very much about taking control of your own health and making changes. You are a strong person and you can do this. As everyone has said, we are all here for you as well when you need to vent or get a pat on the back from time to time.
