so........who ruins your good intensions?

staceydeelane

my husband is the main culprit for me
im really good,i buy healthy things in for myself, plan meals ect but he cant help but ruin it and i have no willpower when im forced to sit in the car while he snacks on mcdonalds or buys a chinese takeaway
he knows im trying so hard to lose weight but then says go on have some, you have been cycling it wont hurt............
its like having the devil sat on my shoulder whispering in my ear and willpower loses everytime:-(
the best was yesterday after having a really good day and going to the gym
that eveing after an 80 minute cycle i get back and hes had a chinese and plated me one up...............i was out,he could of had a chinese and disposed of the evidance.
i would of never of known. hes thin and can eat what he likes but i gain weight-im starting to think hes sabotaging on purpose,even tonight i put him a pizza in for tea and i ate fruit but he still saved me a qaurter and said here you go you eat it!!!!!! this time i said no. can you take it away please but he wouldnt..........................so glad hes working away next week!!!! i always lose about 4lb whenever hes away lol!

I'm with you. My boyfriend is the worst. Now he could stand to lose 30-40lbs and talks a good game. He SAYS he's going to walk with me. He SAYS he going to eat better with me. Then he skips out on our walks. One time he did a workout DVD with me and then went to Taco Bell!! I go to the grocery store and heaven forbid I don't come back with something sweet. He goes to the store himself and buys ready to bake cookies and makes them after the kids go to bed. Do you know how hard it is to pass up warm chocolate chip cookies with a cold glass of milk?

Always my husband. Every time I lose a pound or 2 he goes out and buys some kind of candy, chips, etc...
So I put a new rule in the house, he can bring it in, but he has to hide it (I will eat it if I know it's there). If I find it, I get to throw it away.

Hubby sometimes lol! but if i do "fall off the wagon" so to speak its usually because of something to do with my own mood. Situations make me reach for A) alcohol.. or bad foods. Was tempted today as had a crap day but resisted. xxxx

I have to say my husband started out bad, but is getting better and really trying to help now, My parents who we are temp. living with while buying a house are really bad. always brings crap home. as I type there are no less then 3 cheesecakes, 4 gallons of ice cream, and many other things in this house.

My wife has the bad habit of buying goodies that she knows I like but ultimately I'm the one that chooses whether or not to give in to temptation. I'm an adult, if my good intentions get messed up it's on me.

Used to be my girl friend but now I work in a separate room so when she eats bad for I just go to the other room and work.

I am the only one who can ruin my good intentions. No one else controls what I eat but myself.

A lack of willpower to deny the foods others are eating is still MY lack of willpower.

Sounds like you need to have a serious talk with him. It took many serious talks to get my fiance to understand that I just CAN'T have candy in the apartment. If it is there I will eat it. I know I have no self-discipline. And if we're going to live together and I'm going to lose weight he's gotta be pitching in! I'm not saying he can't eat whatever he wants, but for goodness sake don't give me any unless I ask for it!!!

I told him if he wants candy in the house he has to go out and buy it himself and hide it and I better not know it's in the apartment!

The other culprit is his mother. She is the BEST cook and keeps having us over for dinner!! It's not like I don't appreciate it, but I go over my calories every time I go over there! lol.

AHH! My boyfriend does the same thing!!! He can eat whatever he wants and never gain, but I am 4'11" so our calorie intake is very different. I had to sit down and have a talk with him about it. I had to tell him to stop giving me the sad face when he feels bad that he ordered something fried and I didn't. Also to stop offering me bites of his food. Oh yeah and the pouting when I go to the gym instead of going to the dog park with him. Men!!!! lol

My mother. She was trying to eat healthy last year, and I ate a little healthier too but I wasn't devoted. Now, she's so incredibly stressed out. She has to take care of my grandmother who's been re-diagnosed with cancer. So she has junk food in the house often, and dinner was whatever was easiest. I can't blame her though. I have no idea what I'd do in her place.

I can't go crazy with exercising because my father thinks I'll become anorexic.

I don't have any friends besides MFP to help me stay on track. I am so grateful for this site. It's very helpful.

You should talk to your boyfriend. He should be a little more supportive.

edit:
and YES!! I agree with the gal who posted a few posts ago. Nobody besides MYSELF controls what I put in my mouth. It's the cold truth, haha.
