Thanks for such a quick reply, and yes, he tried Atkins first!! I was using Meridia from the doctor and lost about 40 pounds on it!! He tried, but can't do it. He has no willpower at all. Once, when we were having an argument about something else, I yelled at him and said "don't you have any self control at all?", his reply was "look at me. Do I even look like I have any kind of self control?" I wish he would loose too, he would be much happier, and a lot more healthy, but he just won't do it. The doctor even told him that he needs to loose a lot of weight, but he just won't. It's almost like he is eating more junk now than ever just to prove a point or something. He looks at me and tells me how great my self-control is, then eats a huge bowl of ice cream, or half a pie!!
