in Motivation and Support
I called my boyfriend aked him what he was making for dinner. He sound a little strange. I asked him what was wrong. He said this counting stuff is irritating! Really! All I ask for is just a little support and 30 seconds of his time was irritating. Anybodyelse have this problem? :explode:

    Ditto! That attorney was worth every penny I paid him and more!

    I am working on mine, but I am getting a divorce for a different reason (abuse and cheating).

    Well, my husband would never make dinner. LOL :laugh:

    He does get irritated when I spend a lot of time trying to log my food on my phone when we are trying to eat dinner. I don't really pay attention to it, though.

    So after getting angry with him i text him. He called back and apologized he said he was sorry and that he just didnt understand. He has never been overweight in his life and he will do some reading about caloreis and diet in order to get and understanding of what i am doing. I guess he will get to be out the dog house this time :tongue:

    I can't even get my husband to count calories. He thinks that running 2 miles 3x a week will help him lose weight, while he sits around and eats Doritos by the bag. Once he asked me "how do we eat healthy?" and I said more veggies, lean meats, whole grains....and he said "Ew."

    He definitely doesn't support my exercise and fitness goals...he doesn't ridicule me, but he doesn't help either.

    My husband used to bring me milkshakes, then get mad that I wouldn't eat them and not speak to me for two days. Real mature.

    Now that he's gone, I don't have anyone sabotaging me. Making it a whole lot easier this time.

    My boyfriend is in his 50s and weighs the same as he did in high school so he doesn't really understand but he tries. He does all the cooking so he asks what I want then plans his meal around that too. Unfortunately, he also has a sweet tooth so he'll buy and entire pie, eat a slice, then leave it in my fridge when he goes home at night.

    Hubby has been great in supporting me with this.
    he said if I'm making a change, so is the rest of thr family.
    He also said he'd stop buying Oreo's (his fave).
    That lasted about 3 months---but he rarely buys them now.

    Try giving him suggestions about what to cook. If he's making spaghetti, suggest whole grain noodles. If he's making chicken, offer a healthier recipe and some sides to go with it.

    He is usually pretty good I have just had a bad day on top of his reaction! It is hard to please a LEO woman that is also an oldest child. lol.

    My boyfriend is coming along quite nicely. He has a hard time though because his idea of spoiling me and loving me is bringing me home "treats". Wine, cider, candies whatever. But he is getting better and now he brings me home fruit...
    Although it was a whole pineapple (what the eff), or coronation grapes he thought were blueberries.

    LOL. Poor thing. He does try though :happy:

    And when I make a healthy meal he always compliments me and tells me how much he enjoys eating healthy dinners.
