Quote: If his W acknowledges the problem, identifies a source of the problem, and still refuses to do anything about it, that's just plain not trying.
Unfortunately, this is the situation with H. He knows what the problem is, but he's more comfortable doing nothing about it.
I have gained weight over the past 2 yrs, some of it due to the meds I'm on, some of it just because I lost interest. But I know the weight isn't an issue because 2 yrs ago I was much thinner, looked really hot (if I do say so myself) and it didn't make one bit of difference after the first couple of weeks. However, unlike H, I am working on my problem ( attaining a healthy goal weight.)
Sometimes I have to wonder if actually working on his problem represents too much work and that it's easier just to not think about it. (i.e. "If I don't think about it, it will go away.")
