Do you have people in your life who will sabotage your weight loss efforts?

My ex husband will bring junk food into my house on a weekly basis, under the pretense that it is for our daughter. I've asked him not to several times, because SHE doesn't need it, and I certainly don't.

He KNOWS I'm trying to lose weight, and he knows I have little self-control with junk food (Which is why I don't buy it). . .

I think he's evil.

    Just throw it away. You said it yourself, you don't need it and your daughter doesn't need it. Maybe if you just keep throwing it away your ex will get the picture and stop trying to mess with you under the pretense of "food for your daughter."

    My husband does the same thing to me...if I start losing weight he will start making cookies and sweets...I know he does it on purpose but I still have trouble resisting! Tonight I came home from shopping and he was waiting with chocolate rice crispy treats unforunately I had already eaten crap before I got home so I can't blame him! lol

    If he's paying for the junk food, I'd throw it away right there with him watching...I suppose you guys get along well since he's coming to your house so you might not want to start anything, but if you aren't paying for it you should just pitch it!!

    I'm lucky in that MOST of the time I can turf it. . . Today, however, I ate half a mini Blizzard. Pooh.

    You are still under in calories, and fat. *kitten* happens. If your calories allow for it, and you eat it... let it be.

    But don't try and make it sound like it's somebody else force feeding you delicious treats.

    I've found that the best way to avoid saboteurs is to make sure you don't come off as a victim. As soon as I stopped whining about being on diets and starting showing (or at least pretending) that I was enjoying it, people stopped trying to interfere. The way I see it, most saboteurs genuinely care about the person they're sabotaging. If you break your leg, someone who cares about you will want to help by supporting you, trying to ease your pain, etc. Just show that you're doing this for your own good, and most sabotage will stop.

    You're right - He didn't force feed me - I ate it all on my own.

    I guess my complaint is the lack of support, and his complete disregard of what I asked of him. It shows a lack of respect.

    He's your ex! Of course he doesn't respect or support you. I wish i worked different, believe me. I have my own I'd like to slap around for various reasons.

    You are going to be just fine.

    Life would be much easier if I didn't like food. I had a coworker who would also bring in baking - She also told me to "stop losing weight" because I am just right the way I am. (Never mind that I'm still classified as over weight. . . . ) I do a much better job of not eating the crap when I'm in public, but behind closed doors. . That's another story.
