You're sabotaging my diet, because when you said "cheesecake," I had to make one of my own.0

Agreed! If not, he'd go get those brownies elsewhere! 0 -

apparently she is most comfortable with you at yr heaviest. you have my sympathy.0 -
Thankfully the only edible things that my wife can cook are healthy. For me the challenge is leaving her at home when I go grocery shopping. If she comes with it's potato chips, sweet tea and other empty calorie laiden foods. I may as well throw my healthy menu and shopping list out the window.0

I get an attitude with the hubs when I see all the cookies and ice cream after he has gone grocery shopping but in fairness he went grocery shopping and has heard me say I wish I had some oreos/ice cream.
Now if he could just want to put both feet into the fitness wagon instead of just a pinkie finger and join me in wanting a potentially healthy middle age I would really like that.
Where I see a real problem is with a friend. She seems to make lots of desserts and such meanwhile her husband has had amputations due to being diabetic. She even brought up one time that he was mad at her for making the desserts. Can only shake your head and be glad its not you.0 -
Wellll, it's not exactly a bun in the oven but maybe she was trying to tell you something else?rmitchell239 wrote: »My wife baked brownies last night. I ate 1/2 of one.

Yikes!
I do the same whenever I do the groceries - swear that's genetic - picking up the richest, most decedent ice cream.
Now the wife and I have a healthy joking relationship with food and will toss candy at one another saying "Eat it fatty!"

every time i mention the word "calorie" in front of my BF, its like he takes it as a personal offense/insult. Hes a type 2 diabetic, self induced... he snacks all day on JUNK, will eat non stop for hours... and if i wont share his ice cream, kit kat, or snack mix, he pouts and makes snide comments etc.
im miserable when im over weight, and he doesnt understand my need to lose.0 -

I'm sorry but I couldn't really tell if you were being tongue-in-cheek lol.
I had a similar issue with my hubby flying things like oreos, twix and cookies around making aeroplane sounds and its hard to not open your mouth to take a bite when he makes it so irresistible and irresistibly adorable. Then the gravity of my crime hits and I break down into tears of self-hate and lamentation. I even contemplate flagellation Illuminati-style.
Oh or trying to zen away my craving for things like fudgey mud cake brownies swirled with nutella or peanut butter and pancake stacks laden with chocolate chips and maple syrup and he suggests going to our local Pancake Parlour for a triple stack (I tend to hear triple by-pass). RAWR.
But on a serious note if its really getting to you, its time for a talk. If not, maybe just go along with the ride and text her a picture of food in the 60s and 70s. That's bound to make you drop 3kg almost instantaneously.
Your husband sounds like a funny guy, but id feel really bad if I were him and you cried. What is flagellation illimunati style?0 -

This is just the best. the best bit of this song will now be singing "Larrrrrrdy" at the end as the song fades.
Can someone call Weird Al?
On an Australian bbq, a snag is a sausage. I tried to come up with something that rhymed with the ribs you had to eat, but to no avail.

My mom is a baker; she is also on MFP & hit her 20# goal. She bakes cookies, pies, etc and then portions each into 2 small servings each & freezes them. This way on lower intake days they are ready & waiting, but because they are frozen, they can't be grabbed on a whim!0

Frozen cookies and pies would definitely help my self control.0 -
this has been the funniest thread ever
I don't really want to look like Conan himself, but a nicely muscled female version that can rock a furry outfit and sword is my aim for my "I'm not quite 40 yet" fancy dress birthday party!
But... ever since I saw Conan for the first time back when I was about 8 years old I have wished I could live in Cimmeria and be Conan-ish. I mean - how cool would life be if all you did was ride around on a horse wearing furs and wielding swords and having adventures?
Sooooooooooooo much better than reality.

Glad it made your day. It's nearly ready to record, I will be happy that the parody is complete once we get a this line in there: 'I'll kick you out of my house if your butt shrinks too much!" Have a good one - and go on that date!0 -
Absolutely loved this thread!0

Tell me about it! The BF is trying but says things like, do you need to weigh that?! Errrr yeah how else do I know how much it weighs! Lol and will weigh and write down what everything is in the odd meal, then just splashed around veg oil like its water?! ' oh it's like a tablespoon' doesn't cut it! (And it's more like 4!) Don't even get me started on sauces!0

You are highly.motivated to get it right!! Good job. I just usually overestimate food calories that I dont know likely to the detriment to my.next meal

Uhhh Conan is quite ugly I think. It would be more so in a woman. He has a nice body though. When my kids were little they made me check out Conan book and read them stories. I love me some sci fi and fantasy. Strangely I always wanted to be the oriental kid that knew karate. Maybe you should get a job at medieval times? Im sure you look great rocking a dress. Lots of men like your fit tone look!0 -

Thanks thats a nice compliment. I had great funny people respond!0 -
It took me a lot to realize that my bf and I CAN eat different dinners. It's the only way I will lose weight. He eats pizza and chinese food like its his job. I can't do that every day and stay within my calorie goals.
Last night, he made a pizza and I had 1 slice. Just one. And I made sure to weigh it.
Tonight, I made my own dinner of veggies and fish. He ordered Chinese food.
No reason for him to change his eating habits as he is thin and fit. I'm the one that needs to change MY ways, so I'm going to take personal responsibility!0 -

Good job!! We get free food at work all the time. I hate when its pizza. Last time I had a single slice too (hard right?). Thats good for me too cuz im the type to eat like 5 slices. Then headed to chik fil a for some chicken for protein. Chik fil a has surprising low calorie (if you do it right)food and thier buffalo sauce is low as well0
