Typical day living with a non-calorie counting spouse

I know I'm not alone.

My husband started a new job a few months ago. He works 6am-2pm. It's nice, he used to work evening shift so now he's at home before me and the kids. We get to spend evenings together now! If he doesn't like what's in the fridge for dinner ...he will make dinner and it's ready by the time the kids and I get home. How nice you say!?

Yes, sure. Thing is, he is skinny and never dieted a day in his life, probably never will. He's 6'5 and weights about 170 (on a good day!). Healthy, no. But he works outside, so he's in pretty good shape. Work for him is his exercise.

So, he cooks what he likes to eat: Pizzas, chicken nuggets, perogies, chicken wings, burgers, fries, potatoes, you get the picture? I call it man food. He steams vegetables, at least I find it hard to reach for the healthy meals I have prepared for myself (I cook on Sunday and eat leftovers most of the week). I usually pick the healthy portion of what he cooked (veggies!) and eat 'my' food. But it's hard to ignore that nice pizza he makes! On top of that, all evening he's munching on some junk food he bought on his way home (namely ice cream, chocolate chip cookies, chips, caramel cakes, whatever he craves for as a snack!) .. the stuff I don't buy but the crap still finds it's way in my house :devil:

(I have to add that I feel guilty not eating his food and congratulating him on a meal well done. I want him to keep cooking, sometimes it's a nice change. He enjoys trying new recipes, but they're usually for 'man' food!)

I have pretty good willpower. Most of the time. I will watch him eat that food and won't touch it. But it's not easy. If I take a bite, that's it. I'm kaput!
