I'm new here and not sure if I'm doing this correctly
Hi! My name is Ty. I was looking online for a weight loss support group and this website came up in my search. I have been overweight ever since I was in high school but I was at my heaviest when I gained a lot of weight during and after my two pregnancies. Last year, we had a family reunion and when I saw our photos, my heart sank. In every picture, I was unrecognizable. Also, when I went to the doctor for my check-up last October, she put me on high blood pressure medication and also told me that I was pre-diabetic. In addition, I had to get a CPAP. Even though I dreaded getting a CPAP, that was the best thing that happened to me. Ever since I started using it, I stopped falling asleep during the day when I was watching TV or just sitting quietly. I started getting more active, too and I wasn't feeling the need to snack constantly. When I began dieting right before the Christmas holidays last year, I was around 244, which was my heaviest weight. I am now around 209 pounds. I am happy about my progress but here is my problem: my husband is not very supportive. When he sees me exercise, he makes fun of me. When I eat healthy food, he always makes snide remarks. In the past when he lost weight, I was very encouraging and told him that I was proud of him. Now it seems as if he wants to see me fail. Not once has he said anything uplifting about me losing weight. I know that I should just ignore him but it's draining to be around someone who is critical and has nothing nice to say. That is why I am here. I want to surround myself with positive people who will help me. I am sorry for the long post but I wanted to give some background about my situation. Have a nice day.
