My(26F) husband (25M) has gained 90lbs over one year. He binge eats and gets fast food often. I will purposefully not buy cereal because he will eat an entire box after I go to bed over the course of 2 days. In the past, he has asked me if I can help him with the weight loss by keeping him accountable and making healthy food. This has never gone over well because I will make the healthy food but he will have already gotten fast food 3 times that day while working, so he ends up not eating what I make for dinner. I will even make him a healthy breakfast on the weekend packed with protein but when he's done eating it, 2 hours later he is binging on something else. I recently thought the fast food consumption stopped because we were tight on money but then I found out he still gets it, he just uses the company card. It doesnt help that his family also gives in to his binge eating. They are all overweight, even morbidly obese. I believe one person in his family weighs close to 550lbs. My husband is pushing 300lbs currently. Our sex life has become so unenjoyable because he is too large to do things that we were able to do before. He has become less attractive to me. I am worried about his health. I am also worried that his family's poor eating habits are going to be passed on to my children as they are constantly giving my 1&2 year olds processed foods like chips, cake pops and an abundance of cupcakes. my husband doesn't prioritize a healthy balanced diet for our kids either when he is the one making them breakfast or lunch. Am I wrong for being upset that he is not making a conscious effort to be healthier and loose the excess weight?
You're not wrong for being upset—you're concerned about your husband's health, your relationship, and the example being set for your kids. However, focusing on support rather than frustration may help. It might be worth encouraging him to seek professional help, like a nutritionist or therapist, to address his binge eating and work towards healthier habits together.
