I am 54 years old, married with two children. I am unemployed at the time, but going to college to further my education.

I have been overweight since I got married ten years ago. You see, I never cared much for making big meals, but my husband insists on having a big meal every day.

I use to just pick at food all day and just make meals for my kids, since I was a single mom for many years. I am trying to train my husband to eat lighter, but he works two jobs and wants meat and potatoes every day. I can't work off that kind of meal, so I just have to put a lot of vegetables and salad on my plate to fill me up.
