    I consider "crap" to be things like pizza and burgers from pizza places or McDonald's or KFC. I know I could go for a 'healthier option' but that's not really what I want to do.
    Research the calorie counts at those places to find good options for you.
    Ask your partner to compromise with you by limiting the take-away to three days a week.

    i eat pizza and sometimes pasta and still eat at a deficit. i don't eat burgers or chicken as i'm a vegetarian, but if i did, i'd have a periodic burger and probably still stay within my calories.

    sounds like your partner is a person who likes planning stuff more than actually following through, at least in this case. do you have to eat the same food for meals?

    stick with it and be a good example for him. Maybe several months from now he will see how much weight you've lost and he will then be ready to lose his weight too. You are going to be around food that you're going to have to resist sometimes. I manage to lose weight with a 6'5" construction working boyfriend who eats as much as an olympic athlete. Also you can get take out every now and then too. You can find lower calorie options or work it into your calorie budget.
