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

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."

I'd punch someone square in the baby maker if they stood there and watched me exercise.

No, that's Dani's.

My wife is trying to lose 50 lbs this year. I ask her often how it's going with intake and exercise. I send her encouraging texts on days with her trainer. She says I'm bugging her too much. Then I read this. There must be a happy medium somewhere.

I have posted elsewhere about my very slender and athletic partner. If I workout at night, I can almost guarantee that he is going to be eating while watching! Sometimes on the weekend he goes upstairs to work in the office, then hears the Wii come on and comes down to see what is going on, but then realizes he is hungry.

Where do you work out? What else happens in that room when you aren't working out? I work out in the great room - his only options are upstairs in the office or the bedroom, and I would probably be more annoyed if I found out he was taking naps while I was working out. Instead, he usually stays in the great room, but steals my Ipad while I am using the TV. I think he feels really lost when I am taking up the living room like that, even if he has already done his own workout at the gym at work.

Do you warn him that you are going to work out, or does he wander in to see what is going on?

And, as Lora said, maybe he is coming in to check you out! My guy likes that I usually work out in boy shorts and a tank top, but I imagine some of the moves are less than endearing.

Careful, you might hurt your hand.

Oh, I'd break it, surely. And the gawker would laugh at me... Guaranteed.
