    Not sure if that's worse or better than what my hub said "eat whatever you want, you have been eating so healthy for a whole week. One day won't hurt" I don't need his help wearing down my resolve to lose weight or my willpower to avoid fast food. He meant well, but ugh.

    OMG YES!!! When I was at my fittest (and skinniest, although I hate defining myself as fat or skinny...but...just to paint a picture here) back in '09, I CLEARLY remember my hubby saying these same things...so i listened...EVERY DAY...and by the time I got pregnant in '10, I'd gained back 25lbs and then I packed on another 55ish during pregnancy! lol.

    Men just don't see things like we do and what is important to us may seem silly to them. My husband will acknowledge that my hard work is paying off and how he admires my dedication one day and the next he's ranting about how I'm "obsessed" and need to cut back. Really? I either do cardio or lifting once a day. Rarely do I ever do both in one day and I never work out for longer than 1 hr in one sitting. I take rest days every week. I've noticed that his attitude depends on what's going on with HIM. For whatever reason, he projects onto me whatever he's dealing with. So if I don't have "time" for him because I need to get my 40 min workout done, suddenly it's an obsession. Any other time he's got his own thing going and couldn't care less if I'm working out or splitting the atom. All I can tell you, honey is that men are a different animal and don't expect them to act or react like us (ladies). Undoubtedly they feel the same way about us. You know the truth in this case. Chalk it up to the whole Venus/Mars thing and keep working you *kitten* off!

    yes yes yes yes and this is why i LOVE this site!!!! <3

    Hubby is getting a kiss on the forehead when I get home. He was the fitness buff when we met. Now I'm running around and he's making excuses. But his advice has always been kind and appropriate. He got a good look at my bat wings at the swimming pool this weekend and suggested several arm lifts to help firm them up a bit.

    Yep my hubs is getting a big kiss too. He usually tells me to slow it down a notch, and that I look fantastic. That being said we both know he couldn't keep up with me in a workout so he doesn't pretend like he can.

    My wife has trained me to understand the unpleasant circumstances of such unsolicited commentary. I should note for the record that she is my second wife for a reason. I am now domesticated and housebroken.

    I've been married for 38 years to the same woman, so I've "learned" a few things. One of them is to never, ever, under any circumstance, offer unsolicited advice. Another nugget of wisdom is to never, ever, under any circumstance, notice that she might possibly have put on a pound or twenty.

    There's an app to help you cut back on that. Interestingly enough, it's also called MFP. MyFuckingPottymouth...

    I can honestly say I have had similar issues with my hubby, the only thing that got him to recognize my hard work was when his good friend commented on how well I was doing and wished his girlfriend had my attitude. Keep your head up girlfriend, sometimes men need reminders of how great we really are.

    it seems like to me that most men and women just think differently.

    Men try to fix things for you (give suggestions where they think you're failing), where as women offer support and try to make you feel better.

    Just have to share: Tonight my sweet hubby came home from work and proceeded to make me a healthy delicious salad for dinner! Really thoughtful & sweet, right? THEN HE SAT DOWN AND ATE AN ENTIRE POT OF MAC & CHEESE RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!
    I want to drop 10 - 15 lbs (he is diabetic and NEEDS to lose 50!) uuughhh!

    Hahahaha. :)

    He thinks he is helping... by offering unsolicited advice. Tell him thanks honey but mind ya b'ness. When and if you have a problem that needs fixing, you'll let him know... otherwise you expect his unwavering support. Do what works for you and keep going! Sounds like youre doing great!!
