05/09 Mama Drama

Quote From: jessi1128

1st off I don't eat and eat and eat. 2nd I had been on a diet and I had been working out. It was the fact that I was getting depressed by the way he spoke to me. Maybe you should ask the person before you assume!!!

Hopefully, Dr Phil was able to convince Jared that calling you names and making fun of you was counter-productive and no way to get you to lose the weight. Not to be critical, but you might eating more than you realize. It's easy to lose our perspective on what a portion size is when restaurants, especially those that serve fast food keep increasing their serving serving sizes. A portion of sirloin is about the size of a computer mouse, but many restaurants serve steaks at least twice that size. Nothing wrong with eating out, though. Just eat half of that steak and bring the rest home for tomorrow's lunch. Another suggestion? Keep a food journal. And, read labels. A small bag that looks like it's only one serving might actually be three. Or, more.

Look, the way he spoke to you was totally WRONG. You are his wife and the mother of his child and a fellow human being. I can understand that it was depressing to have him talk to you that way. I can tell you that if my husband had ever talked to me in that manner, it would have made me angry. I gained 50 lbs. with both pregnancies and it took longer to get it off the 2nd time. I'm with DrP, you CAN lose it. Just hang in there. I hope your husband sees the error of his ways and sincerely apologizes to you.
