Your partners eating?

I feel your pain. My issue is that I let my guys unhealthy eating rub off on me next thing you know I am back to eating how I used to. It sucks.

I feel ya but it really doesn't bother me any more; maybe it's just an age thing, as you get older you learn to pick your battles. Hubby eats all the junk he wants when I am not cooking but makes no complaints when i cook a healthy meal, even when he doesn't really like it. you just have to focus on you; can't change anyone but yourself kiddo!

My hubby was the one who decided to go on this weight lost thing. He said it was time for a change so I agreed to it. Funny thing is,he hasn't done anything! I have been doing this for a month now on my own while he sits back and eats up everything in site and doesn't exercise. I chuckle up in the inside and look at him while he stuffs his face. Sometimes I even say to myself look at this fat *kitten* eating up everything! Good thing is the stuff he likes to eat,I don't really have the taste for.

My hubby just joined me after 8 months. He is on day 8 and he is doing great! I was fortunate before he started on the health-kick with me though. He craves salt and red meat. Those were his "bad" foods, but mine were sweets. So I was able to resist the stuff he had in the house because I didn't crave it. I did calculate in my head when he would eat a pizza or McDonald's how many calories there were, but he wasn't ready yet. I hope I didn't put pressure on him, but he did eventually join me. Once we spent 9 days together on vacation he saw how committed I was and he decided to join me. He still will save up calories and have fried chicken, but I have tried my best not to give unsolicited advice. We all know how we hate that.

I am completely having this problem. When I look at my trends for calories and exercise I am find that weekends, especially Sunday's, are horrible. On Sunday's my bf and I try to make a family dinner for ourselves and his family that he lives with. I made lasagna and garlic bread planned and figured out how to make it work in my caloric limits for the day. Then I woke up and found pancakes (more than 3 - 4") and a pound of bacon for the two of us. I appreciate that breakfast was made. But he knows that I need to do this for me and I am working really hard to stay on track and do things more responsibly so I can become happier with myself. When I eat within the serving sizes he acts like I am starving myself. So I will eat a few extra pieces of bacon or whatever we are having thinking I can burn it off. Then I find out that our time table for our plans has totally changed and I barely have thirty minutes to get ready. So, later in the day I'll suggest we go for a walk around the neighborhood. This weekend the colors are really in full swing of changing and I suggested it and like most other weekends he is just too tired when it gets to that point. Then I go to bed feeling guilty that I didn't stay within my limits and dreading stepping onto the scale on Monday. Luckily this week I maintained over the weekend, but it is not helping me get to any of my goals and is becoming discouraging. I know he loves me that way I am, but I do not love me the way I am! I want to be healthier and he doesn't seem to understand how important this is to me, though he always tells me that he does. I am to the point where I feel I need to just take everything into my own hands and do what I need to do for me. I just wish there was a way to get him more involved in what I am doing. He is also overweight and probably has about the same amount to loose that I do. At one point I said we should work together and motivate each other and he almost ignored what I was saying. We have talked about doing something like this since we met and now I am taking the action but I am not getting the support I would love to have. This weekend I am planning out another conversation to have about how it's like he is helping me sabotage what I am trying to do for me. It's not his fault I am the one who gives in and I take full responsibility, but maybe I can find a different way to show him how it is being sabotaged and how it could be beneficial for both of us. I guess I feel communication is going to be the best way to get through this time and maybe get my significant other on board. Good luck! Know you aren't alone!

It bothers me on two accounts. One, he still wants dinner of all you can eat buffet, treats of blizzards and shakes and when he suggests them, that is all I can think about, and I have no self control. I don't stop eating until I'm in pain.

It also bothers me because while I'm trying to look good, he just keeps gaining weight, and it is hard to find him attractive anymore I try and cook healthy, but he picks all the healthy pieces out, or just leaves me to eat on my own and goes out for dinner. He has always eaten out his whole life, so unfortunatly he won't miraculously get bored of it.

But I just keep my mouth shut. Maybe he'll change, maybe he wont. I'd be pissed off and annoyed if it were the other way around, me wanting to eat anything and have somebody nag me about it.
