i'm 32 and 266 lbs. i am currantly the largest i have ever been. at my smallest as an adult, i was 140ish when i was 18. in the fall of 2010 i went on the south beach diet. between september and december i lost 50 lbs. i was so proud of myself. i got promoted to manager at my retail job. before long the stess of the job caused me to binge and i started gaining the weight back. now i have gained it all back. my husband is not very supportive. in fact he says he didn't even notice the 50 lb weight loss. i went from a 24/26 to a 20(almost an 18). how could he not notice? he has been wanting me to lose weight. recently our relationship has been suffering because of my weight/him. he is angry because of me being so big. he says it's not fair to him. he has seen me alot smaller. 170 when we got married and 150 when we were separted. i do want to lose weight. i've been counting calories and walking every other day for 2 weeks now. i've only lost a couple of pounds but i have noticed my pants are a little looser in the leg. i'm looking forward to going back on the southbeach diet. i've just got to get the right mindset for it because it is so strict. but, still my husband is angry at me. he says i have let myself go. this wasn't intentional. i am an emotional eater. stress at work, stress at home, stress in life, etc.... sometimes i feel like i just can't stop myself. i desperately need people in my life who understand and know what i'm going through.
