    My husband would by my favorite candy or snack for me when he stoped at the store, It is his way of saying he was thinking about me. :smooched: I ask him to get me the cheese I like or fresh fruit and that works. I buy him treats that I know he likes that I'm not all that crazy about : and I can stay away from, this way he dose not feel that he is being deprived because I want to lose waight. :flowerforyou: :happy: lso we eat healthy and over time he started eating better also! Good Luck ,::bigsmile:

    I told him I posted this yesterday and all about the replies I got. He apologized! Lol! I told him if he brings it home it's going in the trash and he said "then i'm not bringing it home!" So let's see if he keeps his word and I keep mine! Thanks for all the tips everyone. I look forward to trying them.

    My honey has a lot of junk food - I buy it for him, he can eat the stuff since I swear he has a negative BMI lol. BUT - I buy separate snacks for me, and for the kids. Kids get sugar free regular pudding cups. I get Sugar free jello temptations. He gets nutty buddy's...it works for us. I find if I keep something yummy in the house so I can have a "treat" when I want to, I don't feel tempted to eat the crap I buy for him. You can do it! Be strong, and have a backup plan :)

    so because your partner is thin you let him eat unhealthy, unnutritional foods. im sorry but thats discusting.

    The "no one makes you eat it" line isn't really helpful. Of course it's true, but the point is that the OP would exercise her own willpower by keeping it out of the house entirely. The BF sabotaging her efforts and laughing it off is kind of rude and disrespectful.

    This. He should respect your choices more. X

    Are you suggesting she try and force feed her husband health food? I'm sorry but that'd be more disgusting.

    I totally get you. My hubby has a HUGE sweet tooth and brings junk around too much. Last Monday (my weigh in day) I was so happy to tell him I lost 3.8lbs! What does he do? Surprises me with chocolate danishes and a bag a chips to celebrate. WTF? Grrr.

    It's hard. I know I dont' have to eat it...but really...I've only been on this journey for less than 3 weeks. I need some time to break habits and get strong. I don't need temptation place right in front of me right now.

    I told him the day after that I found it very stressful and that is almost seemed like sabotage. He seemed shocked and didn't really think about it...he does not have a weight problem. I didn't get mad at him, but he could clearly see the emotion in my eyes when I discussed it with him.

    He has promised to be more considerate.

    Perhaps just a heart felt talk will do the job for you too?
