Hubby threw out all my "healthy food".. WTH

This forum is great but the "my husband is sabotaging me" stuff is getting old. And dear god some of you sound like you would call for divorce if your "hubby" left the toilet seat up. Buy something you both like and fight about something more important.

Lmao right?? I'm sitting here reading these replies and am just in utter amusement. I had no idea this forum was full retard -- I've always just used MFP to track my food! These replies were great for a laugh.

But being serious, I know the feeling of stress when dieting and having someone else in the house who isn't dieting. I'm on an incredibly restrictive diet right now, and I'm not doing free meals twice a week like I could be, so when one of my two roommates microwaves pizza rolls or brings home fries and a sandwich for lunch, I just want to choke them sometimes! My husband is large like I am, but he doesn't want to diet, so we eat very different foods (mine mostly being chicken + veggies, his mostly being junk). I am the primary food shopper, so I still buy him his junk and will occasionally offer to make it for him if he's busy. I just have to have the willpower to stay out of his crap food!

Your husband should apologize, no doubt about that. Tell him you want to discuss it without him throwing a fit, and that you're willing to compromise, but be willing to see where he's coming from, too. I know I massively disrupted the lifestyle my husband and I had when I decided to start exercising a lot and stop eating crap food. I'm at 220 lbs now, down from over 330 lbs., and my life couldn't be more different. Your husband doesn't sound like he's adapted too well to your changes. Talk it out with him!

Let's be fair, Mrs Dash IS disgusting, and regular salt is so much healthier...

The heck is Mrs. Dash anyways?

Some seasoning thing. I've never tried it but I've seen the commercials for it. *shrugs*

It is disgusting - and if you get a few good recipe books you will never use it...but it sounds like the beginning stages of changing your diet. It all goes a bit Robocop food pellet for a bit until you figure out that 'change' and eating food pellets are not interchangeable and that you should explore cooking well but reasonably. As PP poster has said you can cook with butter, eat roast chicken on the bone and still loose weight so long as you don't eat all the butter ever and maybe skip the skin.

I don't know about anyone else but whenever one of those biggest looser type shows goes into someone's home and tsk tsks at the pantry and throws things out I get a bit annoyed. I don't like waste and I also hate that they don't take them shopping to show them how to replace what is in there with good stuff that doesn't taste like *kitten*. I ate homemade brownies today and they were great - 157 cal par 2" square of divine made from real chocolate yumminess - and in my count. You can still eat sweets and savoury naughties but you have less or you realize you can't control yourself (hello chips) and then say - well I won't ever have those except a couple of times a year on special occasions and live with that.

He sees that you are serious, and he feels threatened so he had a tantrum and threw away your food.

He wants to keep you fat.

what a ****head.

In all fairness, you're the one who is trying to change your eating habits and you've kind of forced it on him. I'd suggest making some of the things he wants available in the house. Continue to eat healthy yourself and cook healthy. If he chooses to eat crap, so be it. You can only change you.

not in my house. my husband and kids eat what i cook. im not a waitress. if im eating healthy, they are eating healthy. if my husband doesnt like it, he knows where the door is, and also knows my address to mail his child support payments to

yup

It's a mishmash of random spices that generally have no business being mixed together. Basically, take every single spice in your spice cabinet, throw it into a bowl together, and you have Mrs Dash. It's the stuff that people who have no idea how to cook use in order to pretend they have a clue.

Its damn delicious- And I know how to cook- Dont be an *kitten* and insult people just because you don't like something

And from the way you reacted to his reaction OP- it doesnt seem like this is the first time he's acted like this about something. You deserve support- And if he cant - or sounds like Wont- give it to you- at some point youre going to have to choose- you and your health or him and his ways-

its called venting and frustration people. Hes sick of her healthy groceries, and shes the one buying them and fixing the meals. NOOOOOO BODY wants to cook multiple meals like a line cook. So I understand both reasoning, just not the husbands reaction.

Get him a junk cabinet. I have a healthy shelf in my pantry, and a junk one for my kids. I have my own 1/2 gallon milk though (well almond milk) they have 2%. No big deal. My husband had the same fit (well not like that- you know what i mean) and it was not even about the food, it was insecurity. Then he jumped on board and now hes worse than me lol. it will work its self out. unless were missing something.

its a blend of western spices. Just like Indian masala blends. Its supposed to be used as a seasoning . Although not as a crutch for ugly cooking skills ...LOL

This. And Mrs Dash is no Garam Masala...I guess it's reputation is bad because it is the kind of thing my widowed father likes to put on chicken breasts he cooks or because of the marketing which proposed it as a salt substitute.

Sounds like a horrible husband; however, you might want to test your willpower and by a mixture of types of food, like get two gallons of milk - his and yours. As far as cooking goes... he can cook for himself, or add salt if he wants.

Just continue with your goals and believe in yourself. You are on the right path. And I'd have to imagine that you have a friend or another family member that supports you in your quest to be healthy. I'd calmly sit down and ask him what is really bothering him about this whole thing. What does he really fear about all of this? It seems as though his ego is threatened by you living to true yourself. Remember you are worthy of respect and support. Good luck and continue your healthy journey.
