and not telling anyone, even my husband?

Is anyone else in this boat?

I've just ordered them today. My husband is dead against them. Work colleagues would probably be supportive though as half of them are on it.

I've tried everything to lose weight but food is just a crutch for me. I'm much better than I used to be but I'm a sugar addict and struggle with portion control. I've got a lot of trauma from having food restricted as a kid. As an adult I've dealt with the mental health side but just cannot lose the weight! I have tried literally every single diet you can think of. I've had a PT. I go to the gym regularly and walk the dog and play with my children. I just cannot lose the weight... It's either this or WLS...

I'm 5 stone overweight and miserable about my body and just want to change.

Absolutely fine. You know your own body, and you have every right to privacy.

On the one hand, I think that it's no one else's business what type of medical treatment you receive. But, from a practical standpoint what if you have an adverse reaction? If your husband doesn't know that you've been taking them and you would, God forbid, need to go to the hospital, he wouldn't be able to tell the doctor that you've been taking them. It's really not his place to be against them for you. He doesn't need to take them, but he shouldn't criticize you for doing it.

Your body, your choice.
