Here's a different spin on the spouse issue. I lost almost 30 pounds with Atkins a few years ago, and while my husband was thrilled with my weight loss, he wasn't supportive in the least. After I gained it all back (never made it a WOL), he was always bribing me to lose weight. He finally convinced me to do WW (again), which I did in January. I almost started to death, followed my precious points, and lost 2.4 pounds in 2 months! I think that was the first time he actually BECAME a part of my weight loss. He finally said you need to go back to what works, so here I am! He's being very supportive this time and lets me pick the restaurants, etc. He said if it bothers you, don't bring it in the house! What a switch!
