    How the conversation REALLY went:

    Her: Where do you want to eat?
    Him: I dunno. Where do you want to eat?
    Her: I don't care. Where do you want to eat?
    Him: I don't care either. Where do you want to eat?
    Her: I don't know, I asked you first. Where do you want to eat?
    Him: Ummm...I don't know. I guess, maybe, Taco Johns.
    Her: Really? THAT place? You KNOW I'm trying to watch what I eat. Why would you pick that place?? You know it's hard for me to pick something that's not like 1 bazzillion calories from there. Geez. You're supposed to be supportive of me!!!
    Him: Uhhh...ok, ok! My Bad!! Sorry!!! So, Where do YOU want to eat?
    Her: I don't care, you pick, I asked you first. Where do you want to eat?

    looooooooooooooooooooooooooooool! :laugh:

    the truth.

    I would try suggesting something healthy from the start, that way you don't end up shooting down every single one of his suggestions, which will frustrate you because he can't read your mind, and it will frustrate him because he just "can't do anything right." in the end no one will be happy.

    He can't force you to eat unhealthy, you need to take control and plan ahead, if he doesn't like your food choice ideas I would go with what someone said earlier, you pick what you want, he gets what he wants and you go to a park and eat.

    It probably wouldn't hurt to sit down with him either and explain that you are on a diet and list the places that you are ok with getting food from for yourself, that way he can also plan ahead and on day's when he just doesn't want anything you want then you can both agree to disagree and get separate lunches.

    Don't ask? Tell him where to go?

    Yes and every now and then let him look in your purse and seen his nuts.

    It was meant to be a humorous jab at my boyfriend who always picks the most unhealthy places to eat. I wanted Subway, he wanted TJs, we compromised on a soup/salad/sandwich place.

    Boyfriend went for the cheeseburger, fries and soda, I opted for a chicken wrap and water. ;)

    Thanks for everyone who was positive and supportive to this, like i said, it was meant to be humorous, but I do struggle with temptation. It wasn't mean to be whiny or complaining, I realize this is something I need to take control on my own and not blame others.

    My husband has no idea what healthy or low calorie food is. He's tall and slim and thinks that making nachos with extra veggies is helping me with my diet. Sometimes you have to spell it out for them.
    Here's what I do:
    Where do you want to go for lunch? Subway or pita pit?

    He's still getting the choice but either is good for you.

    My husband loves loves loves Taco Johns. We live in Ohio but he worked out west for a time and fell in love with Taco Johns. They don't have them here in Ohio, I think he'd travel every week just to get to go there, at least once a month and spend a couple of nights so he can get his fill. LOL

    Boyfriend started to eat what I eat because he wants me to stay on track and he is also trying to lose some body fat. Everyone should eat healthy even if they are skinny. Pack a lunch for the two of you? :)

    I don't think "peer pressure" means what you think it means.

    I like suggesting instead of asking. "Want to meet me at Light and DeLightful for lunch?" (no such place; made it up)
