Really?

GGGRRRRRRRR..... Why would my husband bring me home a McDonald's Happy Meal when he knows I am not eating processed foods? Why would he bring me home a Happy Meal when that is the furthest thing from what I can have it's not even funny? Further more why would he throw a big ol' ham in the crock pot- it's not the ham that has me so upset- it's the mac and cheese and baked beans he got to go with it... my two favorite comfort foods! REALLY? Can anyone say SABOTAGE? He does this to me all the time!

I have to say I am quite proud of myself though- I let the Happy Meal sit on the end of the table- (I did take the unsweetened Iced Tea) and made myself a big salad with turkey and tomatoes- mushrooms- and cucumbers- I went into my office- away from the table and the Happy Meal to eat my lunch- tonight (weather permitting) I am going to go on a long walk/run and let out my frustrations... OR if it is STILL raining- I will go to the gym and accomplish the same thing-

Thanks for allowing me to vent-

    My hubby is overall supportive but every once in a while, he loses it. He knows I like almond croissants so he's been going to different bakeries all over Manhattan to find the best. Which I really appreciate because I do like having them once in a while. The problem was is that he was bringing home 4 croissants at once every other day. I told him I will tell him when I want one and then ONLY one. Have to be up front with people otherwise they will continue to do the same thing over and over. Hubby is pretty good now, slips up once in a while - like yesterday he brought me two instead of one. I said thank you, and this morning slipped the second one into the garbage. If he continues to bring more than one I'll tell him again.

    Men really think a lot different than us women. Maybe he was just trying to make a nice gesture by thinking of you. My daughter was teasing me with toffee peanuts and chocolate covered raisins on Mother's Day after a pasta dinner.

    I can soooooo relate! My husband doesn't think twice about mentioning the weight I've gained, but we go out to lunch together every day during the week and the only places he will agree to go are like Olive Garden, his favorite Mexican food place and his favorite buffet pizza place - which have NOTHING I can eat short of asking for a bowl of lettuce with no dressing! It just makes me want to cry some days! Hang in there. That's why we have each other. Unfortunately, sometimes the ones closest to us aren't necessarily the most supportive.

    Men totally think differently than us. If my husband brought me a happy meal, or any other goodies I need to stay away from, he thinks, "I'm happy, so you should be too." I think it's the caveman mentality. Really . . .
