    This is my first NSV I've posted, but I had 2 in one day on Monday. First, before surgery I was a sweets-aholic. No chocolate was safe in my presence. I devoured candy bars like they were evil demons that must be demolished as quickly as possible. Since surgery, I was afraid to have anything like that around. My 7-year old, though, wanted some Reese's pb cups at the grocery store. He likes to buy Lunchables just for the treats, but never eats them, so we made a deal that he could get the candy, but no Lunchables, and he only gets them after he eats a decent meal. So, we've had them sitting in the fridge for about 2 weeks, and I haven't touched them. I haven't really even thought about them until I realized how amazing that was.
    Second, I was at work, wearing my smallest pair of scrubs (which are still huge, but the smallest that I own right now), and a co-worker said, "Wow, your scrubs are getting really big on you. How much have you lost?" The scale has been a little slow these past few days, so it was really nice to hear. Yay for NSVs!

    Your husband should love you no matter what you weigh. If it's JUST your weight killing your marriage, he's a shallow person. I don't have much respect for your husband based on what you posted, and I most assuredly wouldn't want to be with someone like him. I understand that fat isn't healthy, but I also believe you love someone not based on their dress size or BMI. Someone "truly terrorizing" you about your weight doesn't make for a healthy relationship. I do think counseling is a good idea for obese people to get an idea what led us to this place, and to try to change some of those old behaviors. I think maybe your husband could use some counseling, though, as well.
    That being said, you cannot do this for him. Don't do this to "solve" your marriage problems. No matter what, you should be doing this for yourself. Do it for your health. But if you are only doing it to fix your marriage problems, I don't think that will work. You need to work on your marriage separately.
