So strange

how without overeating so many of our emotions are not suppressed anymore.  Having some problems with my marriage which have been there for a long time but I am really seeing them clearly now.  It's been so hard especially since I have two young kids.  I still wouldn't change the fact of me losing the weight, it's the best thing I have done for myself, even though it may come at a price.  Sorry for going on, was just wondered if others struggled with stuff after losing the weight.  Almost at my goal and I can't wait!

Thanks for listening!

Even a good strong marriage can have bumps during the first couple of years you are post-op. I know my DH was terribly jealous that I was able to eat so much trying to slow my WL down while he was still struggling to follow the doc's low fat / high carb diet and getting worse labs and gaining weight. It did put a strain on things. I think we're past it now but we still have a few things we just have to get around or over or through. I guess that's natural. 

There are a couple of LWs here that have had to separate and even divorce. The one thing I heard early out was that a bad marriage will likely get worse and a strong marriage will likely get stronger. No one ever said that there wouldn't be challenges to get through either situation though. Sometimes counseling helps...a lot. Might not be a bad idea to help both or just you find your path. 

I'll hope for the best, whatever that entails.

we were in deep gack before so..

my old man has never acknowledged my weight loss (though he was quick to point out my gain)

also-he has put on a good 50#  in the past 2 yrs.-and he is mui in denial.

he has terminal cancer that is on a slow boat so..divorce isnt going to happen..i think the ongoing stress of the decline and all the waiting has extracted most of my black heart and tested the evidence of a soul.

children set the course of my actions as you well know.  you will know what to do when the time comes.  keep a clear mind-hang in there.
