Okay guys do you find that you get "testy" more easily now with your significant others?  It seems like everything my girlfriend does lately ****** me off to no end. I'm just wondering if I have a whole new set of hormones or if I'm getting like roid rage or what haha. I'm not on drugs or alcohol or anything, but Christ this is aggravating. I used to be a very easygoing guy but the skinnier I get the *****ier I get...any thoughts/suggestions?

I think that has a LOT to do with it lmao. I'm so tired of feeling pissed off I know that. Just at her, though...maybe it's time to find a new one? Or no one, that'd be better actually.

Well, I'm actually pissed-off  lot less than I used to be.  I feel so much better about myelf I find I can take my wife with a grain of salt more than I oculd before.  But then again, we've been together for 25 years, so tellng her to take a hike wouldn't be easy even if I wanted to! Good luck, no mater how it goes. CB

My opinion isn't popular, but for me, I think it's the loss of a good friend, food and overeating.  I'm about 3 1/2 months out and I still "miss" sitting down to a big ol' steak and a beer.  I'll get  a little "down" about the permenant change that I've made and start shooting off my mouth at everybody who happens to be in the room.  Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I did this and I know that my long term health will be improved, but damn, I miss the sunday buffet at the steakhouse sometimes.  I've popped off at my wife several time over the past couple of months, not physcially of course, but enough that she swears I've got my own "cycle" every month!

What you are going through is not out of the ordinary. Mine is not directed at my wife so much as it is everyone. It seems that I can not tolerate stupid any more. It will get easier, or it has some what for me any way.  pan head

Thanks, I guess I was venting more than anything else. I can't tolerate stupid either.

It's true that as we lose our hormones go out of whack also. I wonder if you're not thinking you might be able to do better now that your thinner. Do you think you have settled?  Don't be hasty here. You might let a really good person get away. The hormones wil level out eventually. Actually this could be a signs of depression also and you might see a counselor too to help deal with them. Just a suggestion.

Yeah those thoughts have entered my head, actually.  Have I just settled for someone because she paid attention to me when I was fat?  Now that I'm getting thinner will I be missing out on the dating game as a fit person?  I don't know, I don't want to just up and walk away from a 3 year relationship, but the thoughts are hard to ignore you know?  I may need to see a counselor and if it gets too bad I just may.  Suicidal thoughts haven't technically entered my head over all this but the idea of it has and that's kinda scary so yeah I'll look into it.

It seems like there is an addiction component for a lot of people (from what I've read and experienced). My wife was saying recently "Now I have to deal with things instead of eating to feel better".
