..I wasn't kidding. Today he brought home a bottle of rum, he said so that tomorrow we could 'celebrate' my road to better health.
How do I tell him that drinking is only going to put me behind my goals without hurting his feelings?

I'm not sure what to tell him though, sorry =S0 -
You realize and tell him that everything is okay in moderation and you work your calories around so you can have a shot or a drink.0

A bottle of alcohol to celebrate "good health"?
Sorry, but that gave me a chuckle. How ironic......
You're absolutely right, he doesn't get it.0 -

Exactly. You should have seen the look on my face when he pulled out the bottle and smiled at me. I think it was somewhere between Incredulity and WTF....0 -
Well..It could double as a Exercise & a Snack:
Lotion
Licking it off

Geez, he coulda atleast bought home some whiskey. I also say eat little and take a shot
or you could get some light beer and say "u drink that and ill toast you *cheers* for good health!" Maybe I'm not helping...

That means.. no snacking for me tomorrow. Hah! I think it will break his heart if I turn my nose up at him. But... I am only going to allow myself one small drink. -_- Sigh... I love him to death, but right now I want to throttle him.0
