Absolutely livid at husband!

Does he know you have been crying over this? that is so ****ty!!!!! That would really upset me too. Does he even know anything about eating healthy? You had a 700 calroies and chose a low cal snack. So what! is he overweight? Jealous of your motivation?

Agree to this comment

i havent read all the posts , but you need to stop blaming your husband and take responsibility for your own decisions.

sometimes men and women communicate differently so maybe you need to learn to stop taking certain things so personally especially since sometimes men have no idea what effect their words will have. true they should know better BUT then again you are the one who's ultimately responsible for your feelings and reactions.

so either learn to tell him to go have a big cup of STFU or continue making excuses and stay overweight

^This^

Don't go using him saying stupid sh8t as a reason to quit!

Next time he says something so thoughtlessly mean and stupid, perhaps just reply with a curt:

"Oh honey, I appreciate you think saying stuff like this is helpful. But it is not, it just sounds MEAN and will upset me. MFP is where you can find my food diary and you can see that this food IS included in MY diet. Now let me eat my chips in peace."

Just hit your macros everyday and say screw it, You know what you're doing. I hope.

1st of all, its not a "diet" it's a lifestyle change.
2nd, why do you care what he thinks? You need to tell him to keep his opinions to himself and just ignore him.

So many people, including my husband think that you can loose weight and eat anything but super health stuff. I lost 35 pounds last year (yes I have gained some back :-)) watching my calories and exercising. I still had dairy queen on occation, I had chocolate almost every day. My husband would also nag me about weighing everything I ate. He would say something almost every time I entered my food and ask me how the heck i could be accurate if i wasn't weighing and measuring everything. I had to learn to ignore him and realize it was his issue not mine. He could complain or pick on me as much as he wanted but I lost the weight despite his "help".

I guess my point is, let his issues be his issues. If you are hungry eat. If you are loosing the weight what you are doing must be working.

A simple, calm "I saved up calories today so I could eat this. Please let me enjoy them." is all you need to say.

Exactly! I explained my diet plan to my husband and over time my kids have heard about it too. I've never heard the kinds of comments from them that I've heard others here talk about. From friends who don't understand or don't listen when I do explain it...then yes they're the ones who have said "are you sure you can eat that?" or "can you eat this?" I simply say yes I can. I have x amount left for the day so I have plenty of points and or calories left for the day. I can eat whatever I want as long as it fits in with my points and or calories. Now my friends will drop off pie for the kids and put a note on it saying..sorry not sure if you can eat any of this or not but made it for the family. Have some if you can. I'll have a tiny sliver if I have the room for it.

Try to explain it to him and keep it simple. It might take some time for it to sink in. He'll get there.

Denying a blind guy access to the telly??? HMMM??

If the OP is not a troll...she is eating well over 1100 cals and the reason she is staying hungry is that the majority of her diet consists of candy, sugar and pastries. I have a feeling that hubby just may have a legitimate point in this matter.

Take that anger and use it to prove him wrong. You can also use to fuel a great workout - even if it's a long walk to clear your head. Remember - he's not the boss of you. Also remember, you're body is a temple - and you are the gate-keeper. If you know what I mean. :O)

That is soooo wrong. lol

He has been annoying tonight too, but I soon got a full apology after removing the TVs power cable and hiding it!

Isn't THAT considered bullying, since he's BLIND?!

wow sounds like you're just as mean as he is.

i don't understand. he's blind, but he's addicted to the TV? this does not compute.

It does compute. We be tawkin TROLL here. LOL

My mother does the exact same thing! I've tried ignoring her, telling her straight up that it sets me back, everything. She says her comments are made out of concern, but even when I'm doing well she says obnoxious things. My workouts are never hard or long enough for her. What I eat is never healthy enough for her. It drives me nuts and is really discouraging to hear on a constant basis, especially when I'm working really hard to do things right this time.

What kills me is when I try to be supportive of her, and teach her what I'm doing to get healthy she ignores me or tries to make it seem like I don't know what I'm talking about. She is very overweight, has diabetes, etc. yet refuses to change her lifestyle. She thinks she is eating healthy, but is making all the classic mistakes like not eating above her BMR, or way above her TDEE, thinking that working out is more important than diet, filling up on empty calories, and never doing things in moderation. She gets offended when I don't eat the junky food she makes, then talks down about whatever I decide to make as an alternative. I tried to get her on here, but nothing.

I've finally reached a point where I have to do this, because failure isn't an option. I am FINALLY educating myself, and getting really amazing support from the community here. I'm hoping that when (see how I didn't say "if" there) I start seeing results, she'll realize that she honestly has no idea what she is talking about. For now it is all about trying to ignore her ignorance or let it motivate me to push even harder, instead of taking it to heart and giving up.
