05/09 Mama Drama

Quote From: justnancy

I don't think he was blaming the husband for her gaining weight.  He was blaming the husband for making her miserable.

 

Dr. Phil even asked her point-blank, "Do you really want to lose this weight?"

 

She said that she did.  She said that being overweight was making her unhappy.  But, more than that, making her unhappy was her cruel husband comparing her to a sow and stuff. 

I agree with you.  To a certain extent, it is unfair to blame her weight issues on the husband.  Dr.Phil wasn't doing that.  I think he was identifying the fact that her weight issue could not improve unless she had some positive support from her husband.  If my fiance made me feel lousy and ugly all the time, there's no way I would feel motivated to change it.  That kind of negativity puts extreme weight on a person, and it truly just makes things worse.  If I were in that situation I would do my damn hardest to lose all that extra weight and then dump his ass.  He had the maturity of a 15 year old!
