CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

YAY for you on day 2!!Thanks again for all the great ideas! I feel much more encouraged 
It seems since posting here, things have really been taking a good course... Ya'll are great!
Today, he came home and told me that his good friend and co-worker was really excited that he was going to the gym every day and promised to buy him a coffee every day that he went. My husband loves espresso, so this is a big encouragement! This friend also gave him some books he'd been using, and even a spreadsheet he used to track his fitness goals. My husband was really excited about all of this, and it was SO great to see that!
I have been going out of my way to praise him every time I can about how well he's doing and how proud I am of him. He gave me some valuable feedback about how I tend to want to FIX him, instead of being sympathetic or empathetic for him. This is so true... I guess I see fixing it as a way of showing concern, but it was great to FINALLY get feedback about how I can communicate to him more effectively in this area!
Not to post an epic, but I did want to say real quick that for me weight is not factor in determining someones attractiveness. I was afraid that I may have implied that in my original post. It could not be further from the truth. In my past, 90% of the men I dated were on the chubby side and I LIKED it! In this particular case however, it was a mixture of his attitude and the extremness of change... gaining 250+ lbs in just a few years causes dramatic changes in a persons body.
