New and looking for some support and encouragement
 

sorry

Hi Deb,
Welcome to 3Fc, and Congratulations on deciding to do this, you sound like you know what you are doing.
I don't know what I can say about your partner's attitude, maybe you need to let her do her own thing, and you do yours? Until she asks for help, you really can't help her. My husband is only about 20 lbs overweight, and is not trying to loose, so I leave him be. When I make dinner for my family I make something seperate for myself, and use fitday .com to track what I am eating. Also I would sit down with your partner, and tell her how you feel, and ask her if she doesn't want to be on this journey of healthy eating with you , that is fine, but that you need to continue for yourself and your life and hope that she will understand.
I hope it works out with her and good luck on your weight loss, look around at the boards and decide where you want to post( I post at the 100lb support group, and love it), and I am sure you will do just fine.
