Newbie Question

Glad to hear that you and DH have discussed this issue. Good to get things settled at the beginning.
Welcome aboard. I think you'll like this group a lot. I'm from Central NJ, USA.

Thanks to all who replied. I took your advice and directly asked him about it. He slyly smiled and
said "I thought you wouldn't notice, and if you get thin, I may have competition." YIKES! I never
realized he felt that way.... guess we need to work on more than just weight loss issues! LOL!

Anyway, we are at a mutual understanding now. He knows that I'll still love him if I'm thinner,
and my weight loss will be a good thing by getting me healthy.

I appreciate all the support everyone gave... it helps to know others are trying to accomplish the
same thing.

BTW, where is everyone from? I'm from the USA, in Northwest Ohio.

Since successful weight loss requires change, and change tends to have a ripple effect, those around
you will be required to change as well. Brava to you for discussing your concerns with your DH, and
bravo to him for admitting his fears.

Good luck to both of you as you adapt to the changes.

I'm in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Great job Jean on working this out with DH. He will get over his insecurities as you lose weight and
stay with him I'm sure. Welcome to the board.
