Hello @ldrlaw,

I can so understand your frustration in wanting your husband to change his eating habits in order to be healthier, but as @gingerw suggested, "You can only do what you can, make the resources/lifestyle changes available to switch to, and offer all-out support. Your husband ultimately decides what he will do, and when you have done all you can, keeping after him may not move him to change."

I have come to learn that the only person that I can change is the person that I see in the mirror. Sometimes we can influence others by our lifestyle and example, but ultimately it is up to each individual to decide for themselves.

I'm glad that Connect is a place where you can share and get support and I am also happy to hear that you are seeing a counselor now. Is counseling helping?
