Hello everyone
My wife is an emotional eater, and doesn't do much about it. She realized it about a year ago and came to accept it within herself. BUT, again, she doesn't care much to change. She is 100 pounds overweight.
I am a recovered Anorexic/Bulimic/Compulsive Eater (since 2005) When we met in 2012, we were both significantly overweight. Shortly after we got engaged, I was diagnosed with Cancer. I gained much more weight during chemotherapy due to the steroids they put me on, topping off at 323 pounds
When I was told I was Cancer free, I kind of was at a crossroads in my life. I had a major "ah-hah", if you will, and decided it was time for me to become proactive with my weight and my health. Since October 2014, I have lost over 90 pounds. I have just around 50 pounds to go until my goal weight
So the point of this post is: I love my wife at any weight. This post is not about that. While she has lost some weight, she is definitely not proactive or trying. Ordinarily, that would be fine, it's her life and her body, but A - I am worried for her health. I am diabetic, and I am concerned she'll be walking herself into a great deal of medical problems (and yes, we've talked extensively about this.) and B - She is jealous of my weight loss. She tries to be excited/supportive, etc. but often it's dulled down and she has also verbally expressed her jealousy to me
SO... anyone else in a similar situation or have any suggestions/advice? I am very proud of myself coming from where I've been, but sometimes it's a challenge when it comes to being married to an emotional eater.
