Hi, I just joined this group today because tomorrow I will be having a heart cath. and possible heart surgery. I am 272 and only 5'5" I have got a lot to loose. I am married and my husband tells me all the time I need to lose weight but he won't help. He says he isn't the one who has to lose weight and when I say I am going to because of past failed attempts he just says "yeah right" I feel so discouraged and I think I will definitely need a buddy. Is anyone willing?

Welcome Kym

I am sorry to hear that you do not have more support at home.

I hope you will find this board as helpful and informative as I have, and that you will find more buddies than you know what to do with!

I am sorry about the lack of help and support at home, but you will find a bunch of support and help here. I typically check in everyday (at least once so feel free to pm me).

I made a decision at the begining of the year that I would take care of myself and make the choice that are best for me. I no longer am the ones buying the snacks I do not want to eat, but eat when they are around. It took a few years to make the stand, but he is fine with it. If he wants something I do not buy he will stop at the store. He may ask me to pick something up and I will, but I tell him I am buying the smallest bag of chips (or whatever) so there are no leftovers. Making the dinners are a bit harder, because he always says he is hungry a couple hours later. I just remind himif he wants more to eat he can make it himself.

Good luck & stay strong.
