I understand completely!
My husband "sort of" follows Atkins. He eats whatever I give him LC - then he has a coke and the largest size frozen coffee from quiktrip. He eats the buns off of the burgers. He eats french fries when he can. When he did strict induction, he lost 15lbs. He has kept that off and actually managed to drop an add'l 2 or 3lbs. I would like to see him succeed. But, he has to be the one to make the decision to go for it all or nothing. The last couple of weeks (when I have been particularly quiet on the subject) he has been feeling more and more rotten about his not sticking to the plan. I believe, at some point, he will hit a bottom (like I did) and his resolve will soar. We can want this more for them than they want it for themselves! It has taken me a long, long journey (since July, 2000) to get the resolve I have today towards being healthier and eating LC as a WOL. Maybe your husband, my husband, and many other husbands out there want to try to please us more than they care about taking care of themselves, RIGHT NOW. I pray it won't take my husband 3 yrs to come around - but it may take 5. I just need to be ready to answer his every question and address his every need IN HIS OWN TIME!
HTH, Shari
