    I think it was more along the lines of him just eating the way he likes. My hubby loves to cook, and I mean to the point where he will kick me out of the kitchen. And he loves to have me try everything. He also picks me up things that he knows I like, or at least things I always use to eat or drink regularly before joining this site and counting calories ect. I used to get frustrated when he would continually fill the pantry/fridge with certain things, but now I get that giving makes him happy. And what I am doing now is new to him. After a bit, he saw how serious I was about refining my diet and being more consistent with exercise. He does not get offended anymore when I don't eat everything he cooks, and, is even changing what he is cooking (like cutting out the majority of refined carbs, fried foods ect). And now he has even started exercising himself! Try not to get aggravated at him! Even if he "pushes" things on you. And stick to what you want to do for yourself. As for binging and the like, no worries!! Most of us are not perfect. lol Forgive yourself and move forward.

    There is not a single restaurant in the world at which it would be impossible to make healthy choices. NOT ONE. I go out with my husband and my child almost every weekend night. And I am perfectly capable of making choices that are consistent with my weight loss goals.

    And there is not a meal cooked at home that is not satisfying to all members of my family.

    This is not rocket surgery. It's food.

    lol rocket surgery?!


    My favorite line from Mystery, Alaska!


    I think you guys need to find something you enjoy together instead of eating. Even better if it is a type of exercise. Don't let food consume or ruin your lives.

    I found it very difficult when I was dating men that were not into fitness/eating healthy too. They did not sabotage me but were not supportive. It was my choice to eat healthy I could not force them to change their eating habit because I couldnt say no to food or make healthy choices. I just had to make good decisions and learn to say no or eat in moderation. Temptation is everywhere.

    It is a struggle of will power. Although I am still new to this lifestyle change I am already learning moderation is so important. My bf eats a lot (active guy ;) ) and seems to be able to eat anything! Instead of being frustrated that I can't eat like him I use psychology on myself. When we go to the movies I nibble on the popcorn slowly and allow him to munch on most of it. or when we eat out for dinner when I feel myself getting full I offer him to try my food, and I also openly say how full I am, makes me feel more accountable if I try to overindulge. And I take advantage of take out boxes. So far he isn't gaining weight ( haha) and I am losing :). You have to get your mind right first.
