You mean no one has ever offered you a piece of cake, cookies or a candy bar ? Desserts, Ice Cream or Fattening Foods ?
That's not sabotage. That's life. Sabotage implies someone is out to get you or trip you up.
If i want cake, candy, cookies, dessert or any of those things, i make it fit my day. If I'm offered, i consider if i want it and make a mature decision.
Thats the right attitude !0 -
Me. Blaming others for sabotage is just me not taking responsibility for my own actions.
I know that I've lost over 80lbs eating kitkatschrisrentas wrote: »I don't diet so no one =D I eat healthier. But I imagine if I did it'd be my husband, in the sweetest way possible. We like to spoil each other with food.
Eating Healthy is the Key to maintain your weight. Dr. Phil mentioned Sabotage by friends or family members is a no...no... lol. My son brought me a Kit Kat candy bar the other day. I told him to take it with him & that i would possibly enjoy 1 bite of the Kit Kat after i lost 50 lbs. Have you lost much weight using my fitnesss pal ??

Correction. That's not sabotage. That's being polite. I'm not pissed at the people who offer me cake, cookies, or a candy bar, I'm pissed at the people who don't! In the immortal words of Stephanie Tanner, "How Rude!".
OP you seem to be under the impression that you can't eat sweets and lose weight. Many of us here achieved our goals and are maintaining eating sweets every day...9 -

Absolutely!
I lost my weight while eating cheesecake, nutella and honey on toast, cookies, and all sorts of yummy things.
All carefully logged and with the corresponding amount of exercise to ensure they fit within my calorie limit.
When I finished my first uni course last year, one of my coworkers brought me a blueberry Danish. She didn't know I was on a diet, she was just being nice. I ate the Danish and did a few extra stairs and a longer walk at lunch. It was delicious.

Jeeze you're fast! How embarrassing!3 -
No one,all my family and friends support me 100%. And even if they weren't they wouldn't be forcing food down my throat.
If by sabotaging you mean they wont play along and make meals that you think you should be eating and everyone should eat like you because you're doing something and think they should do it too, then you are the only one with the problem.6 -
And I eat whatever I want, If my kid brought me a kitkat, i'm going to eat the damn kitkat if I have it in my calories to eat it, which a lot of the time I do. It's not what you eat, it's how much, I know Vegans who are over weight.6

No one. Not even me. When I gain small amounts of weight or maintain for extended amounts of time I often do it on purpose fully aware of my actions, consequences and what it would take to undo the damage after I've weighed the pros and cons and decided the gain was worth it. I don't call that sabotage, I call that planned temporary backtracking for a purpose I deem more important than weight loss at that moment.5

Haha that's what hubby does to me. He doesn't have to watch his weight, so he makes sure to put extra globs of butter or oil in the dishes if he cooks, he puts twice as much on my plate as he does his. I had a fruit salad sitting in the fridge, he decides to sprinkle sugar all over it. I go to bed early to watch tv, one of the reasons being so I'm not tempted to snack.. Who comes in with a plate of yummy tidbits, yep, my husband!!
He doesn't want me fat, pudgy or overweight or anything like that, he just does not want me to lose one more ounce, and prefers me at the normal weight i am now, and to be honest I'm not fussed if i lose any more either, even though I've got more 4ish more lbs to goal weight.1 -

Stay Strong ! Eat only Healthy Foods.
Nah. Eating mostly healthy foods is just fine. I'm down 60+ pounds, at a healthy weight, and now in weight-maintenance mode. Today I had 11 servings of fruit and vegetables, plenty of (vegetarian) protein, some healthy fats . . . plus chocolate ice cream, and a glass of wine. All within my calorie goal.
Not that chocolate ice cream and wine are not healthy foods. They are, in moderation.

Is anyone giving you food claiming it's healthy when's it's not? That would be sabotage. Offering you foods they like to eat isn't sabotage.chrisrentas wrote: »Who is trying to Sabotage your Diet ? Is it Family or a Friend ?

Hi Christine ! (Thats my Wifes name) They say people that weigh less tend to live longer lives. Tell your husband that to much butter or Fat is not good for the Heart. They say Sugar is really not Good for your Health either. Im going to give you a Tip. Drink Red Wine ! Specifically Tannat Red wine from France, Italy or Spain region. Its Super High in Polyphenols which are great for your overall Health. Its the most Potent Healthy Red wine in the world. Theres lots of research on this. I can send you some info on this if you like. You guys live in a great place ! Hope i can see it someday. Good luck on your remaining 4 pound goal.0 -

Good for you ! That is a Great attitude ! You are a Strong person... We can do this !0 -
My family, they're all big overeaters. Not obese but most are overweight. But they think I'm ridiculous because I log on here and am dedicated so they try to get me to eat more or out extra butter in while cooking when I come over1

Everyone everywhere! Family, friends, co-workers, and they all know how much I love cake! Resisting temptation is hard for me. I basically have to run away from where the treats are. 0

I try to replace with organic or healthy food and not reduce the food altogether. A few times I do give in to Pizzas but overall I have started to eat healthier now. With MFP I'm planning to reduce atleast 10kgs so lets see where this takes me... :-)0

Confidence and accountability are great, but some of these comments are just plain smug and condescending. By sabotage we are generally thinking of those people who *know* that we really struggle with eating healthy and resisting temptation (yes, some of us genuinely struggle with it in serious way) but they constantly go out of their way to temp us with "oh just try it, just one bite, look at it, smell it, it smells amazing, its so delicious, I made it myself you have to try it," etc. For some of us it takes an incredibly huge effort to resist in the first place, where with others it just doesn't take that much effort.
