I know that over the months here I've made a few posts and comments about how I was worried for my hubby. I asked how I could help him to get his act together, since he hadn't had surgery and was diabetic and having some problems caused by this disease.

I just want you all to know that my hubby has stepped up to the plate and decided that he was tired of being in pain and struggling. For the last month or two he's been very serious about his diet, he started counting calories and is making noticable changes to his lifestyle. He's lost 15lbs in the last month, and I am so super proud of the effort he is putting in.

I had convinced myself that I was just biding my time until I got to goal, so I could start bugging him about WLS. I know that the changes that I've made to our lifestyle, and my restrictions with food have really changed the way he eats. He's now making better choices when he travels, even though my restrictions are not there to stop him from eating a whole pizza.

I'm so hopeful that he can maintain this lifestyle changes. I'm sticking to my plan (with the occasional hiccup), and I think that inspiring him to stick to his. I look forward to growing old with this man.

That is so amazing! I know it was weighing heavily on you (no pun intended), and am so glad that he has made the decision to take control of his own health. We are all supporting him in spirit!

That is great! My kids even lost weight since I had this surgery. Seems like this surgery is good for the whole family. I am so happy for you. Your posts have really inspired me.

My weight loss has had an impact on my husband as well. He's now conscious of carbs and tries to avoid them. He gained some weight initially because he would eat my leftovers when we ate at a restaurant, but now he turns them down. It's fine with me, because I'm all about styrofoam boxes for lunch the next day.

I'm happy to hear that your husband is following your example. Seeing the success of others who are close to you is a great motivator
