My wife joined WW 2 months ago and has been doing fairly well & I'm proud of her. I shop for her and tell her good job when she talks about her accomplised weight loss. Recentley though, she has been acting a bit nuts. She wants me to follow the plan which I don't have the need or desire to do.(I'm actually at the ideal weight for my size,my MD agrees) She stripped the house of EVERYTHING that doesn't go in HER plan. She shops alone and gets OUT of CONTROL when we go to an event or BBQ. The other day we took our 7 and 5 year old to a park and they wanted cotton candy. My wife said "Mommy's on a diet and can't handle that right now, so NO!!! " I tried talking to her and even attended a meeting. When asked I said I was there for her and not joining the program, I was then told I was not being a supportive husband. My wife agreed and now we are in a fight. I have done everything I can for her short of doing what she's doing but there isn't a need for me to do that. I don't need to lose weight and neither do the kids. She won't talk about it so any suggestions as what I can do?

??? That's really odd.If you're at a proper weight you don't need weight watchers. Sounds like she might be going either diet nuts, or maybe even developing an eating disorder. As for the people at the meeting, they probably want your money.

get her off weight watchers. NOW. this is NOT normal. My dad is also on weight watchers, and he is a bit crazy . people at work think hes bipolar and he denies it intensly. For the sake of your wife /get her off weight watchers/. Yahoo really needs a bold font. show her this question, and the answers. It'll show her how concerned you are.

well the same sort of thing is going on in my house. my brother isnt on weight watchers but my mom wont let him have unhealthy foods in the house. just let her know that OCCASIONALLY bad food isnt that bad as long as she has saved some points for it. and btw, cotton candy is really only about 4 points for 2 servings. 2 points for 1 serving. here's an idea, when you are with her, eat healthy foods with her, so she doesnt feel like she is alone, but at work, eat what you want. and get a basket or something and hide it somewhere where she wont find it with some unhealthy foods. just tell her that you'll try to be supportive and eat healthy but you dont want to be on weightwatchers, but you'll eat healthy with her

I agree sounds like maybe she is struggling with an eating disorder. But I think more so she possibly feels like she has control over something. Maybe she feels control is lacking in her life and this she CAN control so she is going overboard. WOW! Sounds like you might need to see a marriage counselor.

My mom does ww and it help but your wife just wants you to be healthy. Now i wont say that shes going crazy but i will say she going really overboard with it. They're children and just because she changing her eating habits doesn't mean she has to make the children suffer. They can have cotton candy it's just when they're eating candy 24/7/365 that it becomes a problem. And if you medical doctor say says that your weight is fine then you'll just have to try and sit her down and discusss how you feel about this whole situation.don't let ww break you guys up. I hope every thing goes well and she change for the better.

Think this diet may have gone to her head. Talk to your doctor about it. The reason she wants you and your kids to eat like her is so it isn't as obvious about the way she is really eating. She sounds like the beginning stages of an Eating disorder. I new someone who was overweight went on weight watcher got down to a perfect weight and then just stopped eating. Now she is in a rehab place for anorexia. Tell your wife I have and am supporting you. Weight watchers is so you can adjust to the world not so the world can adjust to you.Seriously talk to her if she keeps acting that way around your kids they may have a bad relationship with food when they get older. Also weight watcher people are just saying that so they can get you to pay for the meetings. Good Luck. Hope I have helped some.

Her diet is in the process of starving her to the point that all she can think of is food. This is the first step in developing a full blown eating disorder.Get her away from WW NOW!
