I feel like my husband is sabotaging me.  Before I started trying to lose weight he was upset about the cost of pizza once a month.  Now he is always suggesting we get it or offering to bring something home.  Last night he went grocery shopping and brought home Edy’s Grand Chocolate ice cream just for me.  He didn’t even get the light version!  He blamed it on being over tired. 
Every time I mention joining the YMCA, he complains about the initial fee and that it will be a two month minimum if it doesn’t work out.  He says the kids are going to be sick all the time and comes up with some rebuttal to everything I say.  It’d be different if he’d facilitate my working out at home.  This morning, for example, I was planning to get up early, but my son decided he was going to get up at 5.  My husband wouldn’t even consider dealing with him so there was no point in my even starting to exercise.  If I say I’m going to do it in the evenings, he puts a guilt trip on me that   I’m not spending the time with him watching tv or movies.
    He was all for the Y until I actually showed that I was   serious about getting into shape and starting losing inches.  I don’t know if he’s doing this because he feels guilty that he’s not doing anything (he’s overweight as well) or if he’s just afraid of change.  I don’t think he’s doing it consciously, but its still really frustrating.
I just keep doing what I need to do and try not to let him affect my goal of being healthy.  Perhaps it’s just my perception through PMS colored glasses.  I’m done venting now.
