Other trying to help...

Anyone else experiencing their partners trying to help but not really helping?! I got home to tonight and my lovely husband had gone out and bought a ready meal consisting of root veg and chicken pie, however the veggies were in maple syrup and butter (400 cals), creamy chicken pie (500 cals) and a salted caramel tart (400 cals) :noway:

he thought as veg and chicken it would be healthy, as my daily limit is 1300 Ii had to kindly thank him but ended up having scrambled eggs and toast. I know he is just doing it to help, but is not very aware of what healthy eating is, he is a proper meat and 2 veg sort of man. Ordinarily, i would have probably gone ok just this once, what will it matter but i know that as soon as the meal is over i will be thinking "why did i just sabotage getting to my goal?" So this time i stuck to my guns but very hard to do in face of salted caramel choc tart when all i want to do is eat it :laugh:
