My husband is about five stone overweight, I think. He's just signed up to some diet drugs and also the smoking suppressant, which I think is champix. Only today so I'm hoping it's a good start. The thing is we've been here before. He's promised to change and promised to cut down cut down and get fitter. The whole of our relationship going back over 20 years.
I'm just wondering how I support him without nagging.
. It's very hard not to nag when you can see your husband getting bigger and bigger in front of your eyes. And also when you hear him snoring really loudly at night. I can't sleep in the same bed as him. He wakes up, sits up shouts at night & we've been told our younger daughter is overweight. We had a letter from the school. She does a lot of sport and she's not particularly overweight more like chubby. And she's only 10. I am in bits about the health of my family. Our 15 year old is too heavy but not particularly overweight but she eats like my husband. The thing is I do exercise I have quite a stressful job and I'm not perfect but my portion control is there. I've given up alcohol during the week. I also try to cook, healthy food or at least have home-cooked food. But I'm now at a point where we can't have chocolate in the house or any biscuits - even the ones that I use post run and I'm actually suffering now emotionally and I'm getting quite depressed because I cannot eat the nice food that I like. What happens is my husband goes in snaffles it so something that I might eat over two or three weeks he'll eat in two settings and will wait till 10:30 pm when I've gone to bed. So last night he was asleep on the sofa at 9pm then I went to bed at 10pm he then wakes up and eats a load of cake!
How do I do this please it's depressing me so much. We can't have normal food in the house.
