LMAO

Longest run on sentence ever.

Yeah. Unfortunately our significant others can drag us down with them if they live an unhealthy lifestyle and we wish to not. This isn't something that affects one gender or the other either by the by.

Your bar for humor is set very low.

It's challenging at best when you are trying to shift gears on your eating and exercising habits if your partner is stuck on neutral or park. Good for you for sticking to your guns.

Ok I have to share this storie cause it is really funny. I had a girls night out with my BFF and we went out to Chilis had lots of fun than when it was time to go back home my Boyfriend was really hungry and he and I went down to Taco Bell to get his dinner and he was like what do you want to eat uuummmm hunny I just ate well arent you still hungry lol NO not at all as he knows I am doing MFP. I dont think he wants me skinny LMAO.....

I agree with Yukonjoy. However:

I have a similar issue. I've been dating a guy for a month, this past weekend we discussed where things could go with us and he saw he saw a huge red flag and that was things we have in common. The only thing we DONT have in common is liking horror movies and our eating/exercise habits. I'm hoping my weightloss isn't a deal breaker or that he is insecure about me being like this. He is a big guy and he knows I don't care about his size but I can't help but wonder.... I think your guy was just trying to be polite.

I agree with auticus - that these things are not bound by gender. In MY case it IS my boyfriend that is like that. Sunday afternoon he came home and took a nap. (understandable since he'd worked something like 20+ hours with only an hour nap in between). He slept until 8...i woke him once to ask what he wanted to do for dinner, and he just zonked. I didn't have the heart to keep waking him, so i just ate without him. THEN of course he wakes up 20 min later and wants to go to dinner. I said "sorry i ate". He said "oh...OK. So do you want to go to dinner?" I said "do you want to have me just stare at you while you eat?" LOL

He needs to gain weight; i want to lose it. So we just have to learn that we can't both have the same eating habits and have to adjust. It's hard, but doable. Had he insisted on going out, i'd have either just sat and watched him eat or ordered somethig healthy then a take home box for the next day's dinner. That way i could have joined him without compromising my diet.

:happy:

This made me laugh.

I have noticed that some men get a little more defensive and possessive if the woman is losing weight. I just chalk it up to their insecurities and self-confidence. Seems they think the better looking the girl gets the more work they have to do to keep her. (And it goes the same with females) When people realize it is not looks but confidence and self-esteem that play more the part then maybe they can let it go.

I married a fitness buff, she is 5'9 124 pounds and pretty toned. I got up to 380 pounds, yeah we looked odd in public. It took me awhile to come around. I'm getting there. If you aren't ready you aren't ready kinda thing. She hounded on me for 7 years to lose weight as I kept gaining, and one day I woke up looked in the mirror and said you know I want to lose weight. And compared to the other diets, tries, attempts and more, this is the first time I'm doing this for me. It's been amazing. He'll come around when he is ready. You can't rush things like that.

Yeah, but your comment made me giggle. My bar is pretty high, so well done!

I like Taco Bell but I sometimes don't know if it's the best food choice since it tends to be high in calories sodium and fat too and it's just hard to make the call sometimes especially when I don't have the site's app on my phone and where then I'd have to ask for a nutrition facts brochure at the drive thru and that's embarrassing because they'll laugh at me because I'm fat and asking about calories so it's like automatic joke time for those darn Taco Bell employees even though I know that I shouldn't make hasty generalizations about people.
