Husbands and Support...

Sep 20, 2011

No one said this would be easy, I'm not expecting it to be easy, but the fights that it has caused with my husband are not making the process easier. He wants to push me to do more active stuff, and until I start doing more active stuff, he wont give up drinking pop around me. I want to increase my activity to walking 3 times a week for 20-40 mins, I want to cut out all pop, I want to drink more water, and I want to stop eating fast food and junk. These are all things that I want to do, but how does one just stop. Did you wake up one day and say, that's it, I am done with it, and never look back, did you slowly just stop eating, and drinking junk, and start moving more, or was it a slow process that took time? I know it takes effort, so I am not even going to ask that.

What if post op, I have these struggles of stopping the bad, and keeping up with the good. Generally speaking portion control isnt an issue for me, it is the choices I make during the day that bite me in the ass. Sometimes not eating for hours at a time, or making the wrong choices.

My husband and I dont see eye to eye, he believes that negative support is the way to go, I believe that positive support works better. We are arguing about this, everytime I say I will do something, and I dont "keep my word" he thinks I have lied, and calls it a trust issue.
I just, dont know what to do anymore.
