Advice on feeding a family and still trying to loose weight.

You are being too much of a people-pleaser.

Just eat less. Make the same food you've always made, and control your portions. Then change things if you really want to. You don't have to try new pintrest recipes. Just eat smaller portions than you used to.

It’s hard for me to say since I think I eat pretty healthfully but I don’t swap out things with “healthier versions” like using whole grain pasta or brown rice... my husband has never complained. He would complain if I started making meals with no meat though. If I didn’t want to eat meat I would just make it and then not eat it, or tell my husband if you want meat with this, make it yourself. But I am a meat-eater so that isn’t an issue for us.

I make the same meals I always have but my husband eats a lot more of it. Or if it’s a meal that’s like, a meat, a vegetable, a potato or potato dish, and a roll (for example) then I might just eat smaller portions of everything and skip the roll. There’s vegetables included with all my meals. I have in the past just cooked up a second vegetable for just myself so I can bulk up my meal with that.
