Resenting your other half for eating crap when you're working your butt off

You can't eat the same amount as him and maintain or lose weight. That's just the way the cards work so get over it.

My boyfriend is a 6'2" marathon runner. He can eat anything.

I'm a squat powerlifter who doesn't do a minute of cardio and only have 1800 to maintain my weight.

Ways I make sure to enjoy myself without feeling like he is "sabotaging" my efforts:
-During the week I shave off calories so that I can enjoy a delicious calorie dense meal with him on the weekend
-Sometimes I'll even do this throughout the day. I can get by until dinner on 600 calories and that gives me room to eat almost whatever he makes (in smaller portions than him), a drink, and a small dessert.
-If he is making eggs and has 3, 2 slices of bread with peanut butter, yogurt and granola...I get an egg or two and a slice of bread.
-Etc.

Luckily we are both athletes so he DOES check to see if I can have the carbs that night if he is cooking, but if not...no biggie. He can eat them and I get two-three servings of vegetables instead.

Work around it and work for YOUR body and goals.
