Do it with me, or get the heck out!!

This isn't what I came into this thread hoping for

OP - I totally feel ya. Hubby knows to go tinker in the garage or the bedroom until I finish. He may walk through to go to the kitchen, but he doesn't hang around. I will say he said he tried it out the other day and gave me props.

Hang in there. My hubby took picture of me while I was doing the 30 day shred!!! I quickly deleted them. Friend me if you want some support. I am currently on Level 2 day 4

If my son is around while I'm exercising, he will say go mom go, or on a rare occasion I'm working out in the living room, he will do a few steps - Walking Away the Pounds. Lucky for me, my son have never been a big snacker. I do buy snacks on occasion but usually the single serving bags. If I do buy a big bag, it's something that the both of us will eat and I know my son will eat the bulk of it. So in a way, I am lucky in that arena. I am my own worst enemy in the snacking department. I know I will have them sometimes just not as much as I used to.

It's ok to get frustrated with things or people and post on here. You never know who you will actually helping with your comments. Just remember, this is your journey of weight loss and getting a healthy lifestyle - your family is just enjoying the ride. You have to be the strong one with your working out, etc. Maybe you need to have a talk with your husband to see what his meaning of being supportive in this journey is. Maybe he thinks he is supporting you while just being in the room. Your family is not going to stop eating snacks, etc...because you are on this journey. Unless this is a family healthier journey that all of you are doing together, you will always have this battle. Though I do believe they can be more supportive on your journey.

Good luck.

Me neither, but I know how you feel. When I do videos, I lock everyone else out of the room. When I'm at the gym, everyone is workout out, so it doesn't matter.

Help yourself by forgetting to buy the chips next time you are at the grocery store. (I am a little passive aggressive) :laugh:

Who cares. No one types a post to meet someones needs. Obviously it did something for you if you had to leave a comment. :noway: just sayin

that is exactly why i do the 30 day shred in the morning because my hubby has already left for work. lol

I would have done the SAME THING!!! However, I would have probably thrown the chips out the door too

You go girl! Keep up the good work

I hear ya! My Husband thinks he is supportive but is the first to dig an effin fast food coupon out of the trash if my fatty self says "I'm craving something bad". Sometimes I need some effing motivation dammit! He claims he just wants to see me "happy". UGH!

becarefull. I'm on girlfriend #3 since i started losing.

can you believe that *kitten*? My hubs does the exact same thing. He is not allowed to watch cuz he trys to make fun of me and stuff and while I'm working out if you tick me off...i'm liable to come knife yeah. I love Jillian, she's one tough beeoch! Good luck girl!

So, I started the 30 day Shred 3 days ago. I'm suffering for sure, but I'm sticking with it. The bigger problem is, last night my husband comes into the room and stands there eating a handful of chips (chomp, crunch, chomp) and WATCHES me do the video!! That pushed me right over the edge! I looked at him and said, "Either do this damn thing with me, or get the hell out of here!"
Am I sorry I lost my temper? Sort of. But, mostly not. He thinks he was being supportive by being in the room with me. On what planet is that supportive?
Sorry, I just need to complain. I've started this "diet" and excerise thing pretty much alone. It's really hard to stay focused when everyone around you is just doing and eating whatever they want. Every night I hear, "Let's go get a Blizzard." to which I respond, "None for me, thanks. You guys go ahead." I'm fine with that, but I'm drawing the line at someone eating snack food while watching me excerise!
Deep breath! Ahhh...now I feel better!

Well .. in his defense .. he doesn't know better.. and let me point out .. you're NOT on a diet .. you are making a permanent lifestyle change. You need to drop the bad habits and incorporate healthy ones. Ones you can live with and manage for the rest of your life.

Just like an alcoholic is considered forever an alcoholic even after years of sobriety.. they also have to learn to deal with people drinking around them. Sure .. they can avoid going to bars and keep the booze out of the house.. but they can't control every situation where there may be alcohol.

You have to change your view of food or junk food or whatever your relationship with food is. Make it a healthy one and don't spit venom at those around you that choose not to eat the same as you .. or exercise with you.

Sure.. Mr. Hubby there wasn't exactly doing the right thing .. but instead of blowing his head off - ignore the chips or ask him to please not snack around you while you're working out. :flowerforyou:

Calls for a throat punch if you ask me.

Divorce.

Surely you meant to say "Just break up."
