    Mine made me so unhappy I ate my tears away for the last few years. Got fat. Ran out of tears so started to take control of my life with a set of food scales and MFP.

    Drew a venn diagram on the fridge:
    • meals I like and and fit into my plans
    • meals we both like that fit into my plans
    • meals he likes that don't fit into my plans
    • then the shared common treat ground once a week e.g. pizza, carbonara etc.

    If he wants stuff that doesn't fit my plans or wants takeout more than once a week I just ask that he doesn't eat it in front of me and I do my own thing. It mostly works but I do get sick of saying quite often not to offer me things outside my goals, if I want it bad enough I will go find it

    What a brilliant idea! I am vegetarian, working towards being vegan and my SO is a meat lover through and through. His idea of veggies is a caesar salad drenched in dressing and cheese. Needless to say it makes meal planning for us difficult. I may just have to employ this strategy
