Why are there Dunkin Donuts in my house?!

taraatwood

tell him to NOT bring junk in house. and if he wants it he has to eat it outside the house period.

he should support you.

bottom line.

I believe the answer is because they are delicious...now just to avoid them.

I've told my fiance to keep all this bad snacks at the office or in his car. He can eat whatever he wants when he's not at home, or when I'm not there, but if I get home and there's sweets and chips and all that good stuff, there will be hell to pay! lol

If it is all possible to hide the junk food your hubby brings in do it. Not to hide it from him, but to keep it out of your sight. You won't crave it so much if it's not right in front of you, taunting you.
You might also try a "come to Jesus" conversation with your hubby about being more supportive. And how being supportive doesn't mean giving up the foods he wants, just not flaunting it.

PERFECT! i agree

DIVORCE HIM!!! lol.. My husband knows better. I get irrated when mine brings fast food into the house. p.s. totally want a donut right now

I have the same problem, and I have zero willpower! I usually have my kids hide them from me, they all know where the stuff is, but then I'm not tempted! I asked my son to get the chocolate chip cookies out this morning so I could put one in his lunch...he had hidden them under my bed! lol I guess as long as food doesn't start venturing into the bathroom we'll be ok!!
My husbands last idea of hiding something was to put a box of donuts on the fridge....ummm, I can see that!!!!! I ate a few to many donuts that week!

While applaud those who just exercise control and avoid all the snacks that their spouses bring into the house, that has not worked for me. I am fortunate that my husband has agreed to help support me. There are 2 or 3 snacky things that he likes that do not tempt me, so that's what he brings in. If he gets something more than that, I have asked him to hide it from me and to not even let me know that it is in the house.

Is there something your hubby likes that doesn't tempt you very much? Maybe you can agree on something like that?

Just curious if anyone else has this issue- I have to watch everything I eat and am still working on making some changes (I'm only a week in...) but my hubs can eat ANYTHING and not gain an ounce! Sweets, sugar, chocolate, all those yummy awful things are my achilles. So while I go grocery shopping and do most of the cooking, he'll still bring in snacks and junk food. Drives. Me. Nuts.

I'm still learning dicipline to not eat the junk, but it's hard when he's so clueless!!

Anyone have any tips?

Does he eat this kind of food habitually (several times/day, every day)? If so, I would encourage him to try some healthier habits with you, as even "skinny" people can develop diabetes, heart disease, etc... after years of bad eating habits. Tell him you're on a quest to be HEALTHY and that any weight loss is a positive side effect of that. If he isn't on board with changing his eating habits, ask him if he can show his support for your efforts by not eating the junk in front of you or by not bringing it in the house. Try to find some middle ground on this. Be sure he's clear on how vital his support is to your success.

Ya know, you can eat donuts and still be healthy. To me it's healthier to indulge, then it is to create these mental obsessions about it. The more you deprive yourself, the more likely you are to lose control and snap.

I still eat donuts, and ice cream, and cookies, and haven't had any problem losing weight or maintaining it. It's all about being aware of how much you eat.

Yup. Had ice cream every night last week and lost two pounds. Make it fit and enjoy.

(Subbing today and senior class brought in donuts. And, yeah. I had a maple bar. Loved it.)

This drives me nuts as well, but not as of late, I talked to him about it and told him that he was making it incredibly hard for me and not only that but he wasn't doing much for himself either. I asked him to Stop! It's as simple as that. though it took a few times. He did and now he is trying along side me.
