Husband Sabotages
- Try losing 130 lbs by per will power and excercise only to have your husband become more and more angry. By the time I got to a size 6 I was being screamed at 24/7 and if spoken to it was only with hatred. After 4 years living like this it cracked through my armor. I became depressed, and wanted to die. Stopped working out, stopped living, just sat on the couch (like him) and gained back all the weight. Crazy how he could destroy on soul. Does anyone realize how hard it is to lose 130 lbs by sheer sweat... working out 6 days a week, boxing twice a week, walking 4 miles a day along with 400 crunches daily. Needless to say he no longer screams and yells anymore. No more hatred towards me. My advise: stay in school, go to college, make your own money so if this ever happens to you - you can LEAVE HIM. Now I have to wait for him to die before I can invest that much energy and time into "me". I can't imagine finding the will power again only to be punished for it again. NO THAXS

mother in law sabotage
- I don't know why but even though every one around her says I look great, even her own family and friends, she seems to despies my weight loss and healthy eating habits. She brings me fried chicken and biscuits every week and I caught her telling my husband to take me to a fried food joint. She has harrassed me in my house and in public. I've shown her whar my doctor says and the chart that shows I am a healthy body weight. ARRGH!!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.

Being poor
- my biggest sabotage to my weigh loss is the inability to afford healthier food. I am just starting a business and I don't have enough money to eat fresh fruits and veges and the leaner meats are more expensive as well. When I say poor, I don't mean that I don't have enough extra money, I mean I am living in my mother-in-law's sun room and can barely help with the bills. I think that is a common problem. Junk food is cheaper than healthy food and so it's hard to make the choice between 3 days worth of healthy food and a weeks worth of junk.
