when asked

Good for you! I know, very helpful right!?!

At least he thought of you right??? Great will power to say no, I would have caved!

this is both a success and a rant.
seriously, does my hubby need to ask if i want jack in the box or taco bell if he picks it up?
I said no, but WTF?!?!

Ooh, hard choice! I'm a sucker for both. Tell him to give it to me. I will eat it for you

He was at least thinking of you... but you might surprise him by the Fresco Crunchy Taco. It really isn't bad in calories.

We men folk just want to fulfill our basic role as hunter / gatherers; To provide for our loved ones.

I've been in this same exact situation with my wife so many times. It's not that she doesn't want the cheeseburger ( or whatever ), it's that she's denying herself that luxury. Deep down, on some primal level, we all really want that cheeseburger. This realization empowers us with a "Nobody is going to deny my wife what she really wants, even if it's herself!" sort of attitude. Then we wind up bringing home a triple fudge sundae or something as a treat because "she deserves it!", and "she looks just fine the way she is!", and thus the cycle of enabling continues.

Also, the last ten times we brought home some tasty, decadent offering, we were most likely rewarded / praised.

Our hearts are in the right place, but our brains can't seem to get around the fact that the most considerate option now is not to offer such temptations in the first place.

Men are hard to train. My wife has worked on me for years, and now I know better. I know what she eats, and what she likes, and I'll even snoop in here and see how many calories she has left for dinner.

I would never ask that question - I would just hit Walmart and KFC, bring home a big juicy grilled chicken breast and a can of beets. Nuke the beets and park 'em on a plate with the birdboob and stand back. (She loves beets,,, I dunno, I don't get it either).

But what do I know,,, I'm just a hairylegged smelly man.

That's some willpower! I would have picked Taco Bell though...I've never had the other one.

My husband will do that sometimes, only he won't call. He'll just bring home the fixin's for brownies sundaes.....mmmm..........no wonder I've lost weight since he left!

Thank you!! I needed the laughs!! I would've said the grilled chicken fingers and a side salad no dressing from Jack in the Box. Or 1 pintos and cheese, and made a salad to go with it. But honestly sometimes I just WANT the dang cheeseburger and milkshake!!! but to get where I want to be I need to die to my selfish desires and go w/ grilled chicken! :happy:
