Has your husband read the Atkins book? I don't think it would be unreasonable of you to ask him to do so and understand what you are doing and why. Your husband also needs to know that you are his *wife* and you *deserve support* from him. Whether or not he believes another way would be better is immaterial if this is the way you've chosen to deal with it.

Hang in there love. I know it's hard to deal with the double burden of depression *and* being overweight. Don't be afraid to seek out professional help, too -- for you AND your husband, because if he refuses to understand and support you, there's something wrong with HIM. It's NOT YOUR FAULT you are this way and you can't solve it alone!


[edit] Don't forget too, that a moment or two of weakness isn't going to sabotage your health for life. If you cheat on your diet today you can always start over tomorrow.
