This is tricky with the "man must earn and control the money" ethos that abounds everywhere, and probably particularly in your line of work, LJ.
Can you learn to feel proud of knowing your own weaknesses and your strengths as a couple and choosing the right way to use these to manage your money for the well-being of your family?

On another note, I eat too much, not compulsively, just too much snacking out of boredom and/or as a displacement activity. I'm inspired by you, LJ, to really try to get a grip on this now (not next week, or soon, or later, as I've kept telling myself for far too long) and now really think about what I'm eating and why. This means I feel hungry every day at some point, but that's not a bad thing at all. I could certainly use losing 28-42lb myself ...
