WTF? He buys them but won't let you eat them... I'd flush them all down the toilet.. then make him pay for a plumber...0

Sounds like he should be your ex fiancé0
-
Are you locked in a closet? Should we call someone? Are you bound and gagged?0
-
the more you deprive yourself the more likely you are to binge...just fit them into your calories and enjoy them0

if you guys are living together you need to talk to him ASAP or you will struggle reaching your goal. Tell him you don't want that stuff in the house to be tempted--and he is an *kitten* for eating them in front of you and telling you that you can't.0

You've lost a big chunk of weight (I'm envious!) so I say congratulations to you and keep up the good work. The dominance thing with your boyfriend is very unhealthy, but I commend you for hanging in there with the weight loss. Stick to the weight loss...the boyfriend? Well, up to you.0

I tell my husband if he brings home sweets that I cannot or should not eat that he must hide them from me, and do not eat them in front of me. I want to see no wrappers no evidence that the sweet is even in the house.
You need to be dieting for yourself, tell him he is not the food police. YOU are in control of your intake...not him. If you want to eat something it is up TO YOU...NOT HIM. HE should not have that kind of control over you or taunt you by eating something in front of you and giving you a hard time. Rethink your relationship, this guy doesn't sound like a keeper.0 -
You need to kick him in the nuts. That's very disrespectful and selfish...we have a name in the fitness world for those kinds of people
"food terrorists"
seriously have a talk with him that is unacceptable0 -

He never lets you? Are you serious? That's a red flag waving right there. YOU are responsible for what YOU eat. NO ONE else. If you want to have one cupcake, you can. Deprivation can lead to failure. You can eat sweets IN MODERATION and still lose weight. And him taunting you is also a red flag to me.
Are you sure you want to marry someone who claims to love you, then controls your eating and taunts you with "forbidden food"? Unless you're into that sort of dominance....0 -
she may have told him when she started this not to let her eat anything like that.
besides, pumpkin has no place in anything sweet ever. its a vegetable, and a gross one at that.0 -
honey, that's never a good sign if he is controlling what you eat.0

Here is the secret to making this a LIFE STYLE change not a diet. Live life. If you deprive yourself, you will be angry, (you've hit that stage) and go off the deep end and eat an entire Sara Lee cheesecake in the car in a dark parking lot with a plastic spoon, tossing the evidence in a trash can before you chew gum to rid yourself of the tell-tell cheese cake scented fumes before you go home.
You have to find a balance. A cupcake is not going to kill you. NOT having the cupcake might. If you can find a way to fit those treats in your calorie budget, you'll be sucessful. I'm at 1,300 calories a day (net after exercise) I eat 3 full meals and several snacks, and I managed to fit a Dunkin Dounut Red Velvet Cake dounut into my budget today. Do I feel guitly? No, becuase I will give up something else throughout the day. If I had not had that delicious little red-ish treat today, It would still be haunting me and I would eat 3x the calories trying to satisfy that haunting smell/taste/texture.
I have days, beleive me. Halloween almost killed me and there are days recently when I ask myself "What is wrong with me" when I log my food intake and see what I consumed. But it can work, you can have both. Try to show your fiance how you make it fit into your budget, and tell him you've got this. He needs to trust you and know you can handle a cupcake. Otherwise, it will be food infidelity, sneaking around bakeries and other food outlets looking for your fix.0 -
I would spray his sweets with windex right before it gets in his mouth. If I can't have sweets, no one is having sweets lol
It's not impossible to lose weight and have the good stuff. Tell him to take the stick out of his bum and to maybe give you a look before you eat TOO MANY, not one. My goodness....0 -
He doesn't "let you"? You need a new fiancé.0

he finally gave in thank God!!0

he finally gave in thank God!!
I'm guessing you're into someone telling you what you can and cannot do?0 -
He is lucky you didn't have to kill him to have them All..0
-
What! Pumpkin and sugar are a match made in heaven!she may have told him when she started this not to let her eat anything like that.

he finally gave in thank God!!
Sounds like a healthy relationship. :noway:0 -
Are you locked in a closet? Should we call someone? Are you bound and gagged?
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -
oh to be single..0

If I understand this right, you're dieting and he's not, and sometimes he brings sweets home for himself that he won't share with you because he knows you're dieting...
Is that about right?0 -
This should not be an issue.. You live there, eat whatever you damn well please.0
-
he finally gave in? Wtf?0
-
:huh:
I'm not sure if I should go with a "Just break up" or a "But are you willing to poop in a box?"0 -
Are you locked in a closet? Should we call someone? Are you bound and gagged?
^^ This unless I were bound, gagged and locked in the closet I WOULD be eating those cupcakes. After I junk punched anyone who dared to food shame me. I work damned hard and if I want a cupcake I eats it.0 -

so,
have you been clear you dont want him making decisions for you, or did you ask for his help at some point?0 -
I feel like that is utterly bunkers! My roommate used to do that to me, but if my fiance did I would walk away hun!0

I love this thread.
it's the bookend to the 8 billion MFP threads complaining "my boyfriend/husband/fiance came home with something delicious and offered me some, how am i supposed to lose weight when I'm being sabotaged like this!?!?!?!?"0
