Smelly Reality Check

Jan 22, 2009

I have known my husband since November of 2005. I was 340 pounds then and very unhealthy. He knew about my problems but I don't think he fully understood the depth of them. Now he knows and it's very hard for him to bear it. He has not hid his feelings recently and made it known that certain behaviors are not ok. It took him a long time to be honest with me, which I think made things worse. Maybe he thought the surgery would solve all the problems but it did not.

The latest thing is the smell that is generated by my ass when I eat carbohydrates. Yesterday it was so bad, apparently he could smell my farts when he walked in the door. I was upstairs so the smell had to travel. I guess I thought as long as I sprayed afterwards it would be fine but apparently it is not. This is not the first time he's noticed my smell and it really grosses him out. Unless I only ate protein and veggies (non starch), I have gas. But when I eat carb dense foods, it gets really bad. I also have to go alot more and that of course smells. I have decided to look at this not as someone who feels like her husband is insensitive but as someone who knows it's wrong and needs to make a change. I can't keep living in denial. If my husband was the same way, it would bother me. I probably wouldn't be as rude as he is but maybe that is what I need. Sometimes a slap in the face is very effective.

Today I've been eating better and plan on coming up w/ a food plan for two weeks that is extremely low carb to get me out of the carb cycle and to get my body to stop producing such horrible smells! Wish me luck.
