I never quit trying, just didn't know what else I needed to do
But I am at a place in my life where I can put a significant amount of time/energy into myself - so I'm seeing better results from my efforts. Finally.
You see thats a personality trait. When my weight would not come off it was not something that I just said "oh well" to and waited for a more ideal situation.
I looked into it relentlessly until I found what worked. Thats how I am on most everything. Failure is not an option. I still ask questions on how to improve other areas of fitness and diet.
Cheers to that "finally" though. Most let it just fall through the cracks and forget about it because failure discourages them instead of encouraging them to try again.
I also was a "naturally thin" one that gained way too much. My original methods of weight control did not cut it anymore so I had to keep revising it until I found what worked. It didn't happen overnight either. On the emotional level I realized I just don't mesh with someone who does not have that same type of get go when it comes to solving any issue. The laid back attitude just grated on me as it bled in other areas in their life.
Sorry, all you people saying that the "stress" from your failing relationships caused you to gain weight is just making excuses.

Until you walk a mile in someone else's shoes, you have no talking room. Clearly you have no clue about what we're talking about. We're not talking about ordinary every-day stress.
And you might want to look up cortisol (http://tinyurl.com/4ygsunc - broken link), while you're at it.
I disagree because:
- it opens a door of communication and shows you care about something thats bother them.
- true healthy lifestyle change is an internal emotional journey with an external effect.
Better health not only changes your body but it changes your mood and energy levels too. Getting yourself together and communication is better than sweeping it under the rug and telling the other person to suck it up. Even if that person was there or not, you should be respecting yourself and the one body you get for life. Treat it as best you can.
Actually, it shows that you care about yourself. Has nothing to do with your spouse. Or, it shouldn't.
Oddly enough, there are people in this world who feel threatened when their spouses take care of themselves.
And oddly enough, if one's partner suddenly starts hitting the gym, buying new clothes, and worrying about his or her looks out of nowhere, without any prior discussion, it's often a sign of cheating.
The communication needs to happen before the lifestyle change, not after, and any lifestyle change should be made for oneself and oneself only. That's the only way it will stick.

Maybe I shouldn't even take on such a post but don't those very clean shoes interact with the refuse of others? Though I believe you have made extraordinary effort to avoid that. More than many of us can imagine.

I did it for myself, the ex and a healthier future together. Not for only one reason.
Its still sticking here even though the ex is long gone!
He needed to do it too as he already had health issues from it an he was under 30. Even his body was yelling at him to cut the crap before I said a thing with the negative health stuff.
The communication should be happening before, during and after. He never thought I was cheating. I did make him feel fat because of what i looked like in comparison (but he was.)

LOL. Some hold e-grudges. You know, they remember a few thread comments from a couple of years ago that they didnt like, so they just think "oh I hate that guy". Its that and sometimes when someone says something that hits so close to home, or its about them, they feel the urge to attack. If you say "Oh, squirrels are so gross, I hate them", the all the squirrels will come out and say "Oh I hate you too, you are just so wrong....".
If someone posted "Oh, I just hate fit guys who look like Alex Rodriguez/Cristinaldo Ronaldo because they are just so in shape and take care of themselves so that they can be happy and healthy and be great examples of how to live healthy happy lives and inspire others and their children along with their beautiful wives who are also quite fit and in shape. I hate those guys". I wont get mad at them, I'l just smile and go on about my day.
Yah. She puts us all to shame. All those kids and she still looks just like Angelina Jolie. Lol.
Yeah...and all that belly skin just snapped right back, without a scalpel. Right. I have some land to sell you.
