Weight Loss/Maintenance

She's very intelligent, loves our daughter unconditionally, has an amazing knack for arts and crafts (she's sewed amazing Halloween costumes for our daughter every year since she was born) and has a great sense of humor. We both love the same music, the same genres of movies and TV, having friends over for board games. I wouldn't still be with her if I didn't love her, after all.

But all of those things don't offset the horrible damage she's doing to her body, and the growing sense of separation that is forming from years of sleeping alone, or seeing my health improve and her's decline. I'm not going to confine myself and our daughter to the house because she doesn't want to go to the park, on hikes, to the beach, etc, so "family time" has turned into mostly "father-daughter time". And I can't help the resentment that's starting to build up inside of me as my daughter and I have to watch her slowly kill herself. Our daughter is 11, incredibly smart like her mother, and she's terrified by the thought of Mom suffering the health consequences of her diet. She was literally crying in my arms a few nights ago because she can easily research what untreated diabetes leads to, and it's not pretty.

Don't confuse my fears with trying to make her feel like shit. I miss my wife's companionship, the fun we had in our 20's, and the dreams we had when we decided to get married and have a child together. God, I want that back. But that can't happen unless she addresses her health problems.
