Anyone else upset with the people they live with due to lack

Yep 100% same here. I see hubby buy stuff that has always made me cringe, like dripping to cook his chicken wings in.....ewwwwwww. Or even the fruit juice he claims is healthy for him, yet I know better. I just shhhh cause that is his choice to have that. I can't force him, wish I could.

It makes it hard to see people do it to themselves & for them not to even notice that what you are doing is so much better for you. I don't ask for a pat on the back all the time, but I would love to be able to pat him on the back. I guess part of that is my fault, I will go out & buy the things he needs if asked. I could say they were out of stock, but that wont change a thing it will just get purchased later on.

I even got a total flex for us all to use here, son has no idea how to use it & hubby wont even try He does love my kettle bells & swings them lmao... but that's the whole exercise thing for him. He makes excuses like his ear hurts (he has a bad ear infection that wont go) and that he is tired I wish that part of it all would change. He can see how well I have done, he does praise me for it.... really he does & the fact he can't keep his hands off me is a good thing. I love him no matter what size he is, just wish he was healthy

Yes! They like to eat fast food A LOT and eat late at night. Plus there is a ton of junk food in my house on top of the fast food

What I've noticed is that people who don't like to eat healthy--usually guys-- are extremely proud of it. You'll be sitting there eating your salmon and vegetables and they'll look you in the eye and say "Mmmm!" over and over while scarfing down plate after plate of bacon, biscuits, doughnuts, Oreos, buttered rolls or potato chips.

Then they wash down their 80 medications with coffee, and go on their merry way.

I run into issues when my husband doesn't want to eat anything at the house and wants to eat out. There are not a lot of tasty low calorie options as fast food restaurants, in my opinion. Since I cook dinner, I control at least one of his meals, and he has lost a little too. We don't know how much, but he needs a belt for his jeans now. He asks me to buy things like frozen burritos and oven pizzas and they smell so much better than dry turkey on wheat. Since he is disabled, I have to actually fix the junk he wants to eat.

My brother and my mom always bring cookies, donuts, cupcakes, apple puffs, coconut custard pie and brownies into the house. Oh, and there is ALWAYS at least two 3-liter Pepsi bottles in the fridge.

I have the same issue and I am just starting! It is hard so when I have to I eat light since its so high in calories. (ok today was a bad day) then try to make them all see me walking on the teadmill. (we keep it in the living room)

Absolutely on the same page here. It's just me and my 3 little ones all day so they pretty much just eat what I give them. But once my fiance gets home its a different story, he's at least 70 pounds over weight and makes jokes about wanting to be bigger and that the only reason I'm trying to lose weight is to get other guys attention. He eats what ever he wants and gets mad if I don't have the junk he wants in the house. He told me that he would probably want to get on board once he sees me lose at least 20 lbs, well buddy I'm at 15 lost so far. And then he thinks that when he does try to lose weight all he's gona do is get some magic diet pill or just not eat or something stupid. He just likes to get under my skin about it and if he thinks its going to make me stop then he's dead wrong. I'm just going to prove him wrong in the end.

You can make healthy pizzas and burritos and please both of you! Healthy food doesn't need to be dry and unappetising... look up some good ideas online and start experimenting!

I don't live with my family, so it's probably way different but the fact that I have a flatmate that is overweight and eats really crappy food all the time helps motivate me. I look at him eat pizza and I don't want it because the way he eats it, the way it drips down his fingers and arms and the way he slurps his way through the cheese and grease makes me never want to eat pizza ever!!

Going to think about this on the treadmill to motivate me!!

My take on this is: none of us ate healthy all our lives, or we wouldn't be on this site.


We all have to start somewhere. You can't change them and thankfully, they can't change us.

All we can do - any of us - is set an example. It's their lives to lead, and screw up or not.

I actually got my SO to eat right last night and I'm proud of it! We went out to grab dinner at Chili's and I got the combo dinner; chicken breast, grilled shrimp and a side of broccoli. He ended up having the same thing but no broccoli. He opted for mash! I understand a mound of broccoli isn't for him but he did amazing compared to what he normally eats; a full rack of ribs, cole slaw, corn, big mouth bites, potato skins, and a mound of french fries :noway: He was shocked it was so good. He was able to sleep at night without feeling overly stuffed, didn't get heart burn and actually felt like he could walk to the car and NOT unbutton his pants!

He wasn't on board in the beginning and he'd try to seduce me with his junk food but he came around when he figured out I wasn't budging and going grocery shopping with me was like going grocery shopping with Joe Decker.

Give it some time and just stick to your plan! If they come around, good for them! If they don't, they just aren't ready yet. Good luck!!

The only reason why I don't want to move back home. I'm vegan, they aren't.

First day of my diet my bf pulls into a Tim Hortins for Breakfast.. I did good and ordered an oatmeal.. I just thought it was unthoughtful A week later he went to docs and had high blood pressure.. and doctor told him not to add salt to his food. so for dinner that night out of spite I made sure he see me add salt to whatever it was I was eating.. (with an evil laugh lol) . Paybacks are a b*$%.. yup

My husband is like that, and offten brings foods he knows I love and cant eat into the house or stop and McDonalds when Im in the car. Its irratating at first but now it doesnt really bother me. This is my choice and something I am doing, just because Im at the point in my life that I want to change my health doesnt mean he is at the same point right now. But I cook dinner so he is at least getting one meal a day of healthy choices!

Dont be mad you are strong and can do this even if the peopel around you are not

I look at him eat pizza and I don't want it because the way he eats it, the way it drips down his fingers and arms and the way he slurps his way through the cheese and grease makes me never want to eat pizza ever!!
