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

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!!

they way you described that is soo nasty and now i do not want pizza and I LOOOOOOVE pizza not so much now. ICK

I'm married to the sugar plum fairy. He eats and drinks his weight in sugar everyday.of.the.week. If he lost any more weight he'd blow away in the wind never to be found again. And he's lived this way his whole life. When he goes to the corner store for a candy bar he comes back with a dozen. On the other hand I have gotten him to eat salad and a few other occasional vegetables. Scary..

I have 5 teenage kids. Essentially I cook for me, him, and them. I used to be upset, but then I figured that was a waste of precious energy.

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.

Are you married to my husband????? I ate Stuffed Chicken Breasts last night and he had a large lasagna with meat sauce. He smokes like a chimney and takes his cholesterol medicine and acid reflux medicine regularly. I refuse to cook two separate meals though. He doesn't like what I'm cooking, he can make himself a sandwich. I bought the lasagna, but refused to open the package and put it in the oven for him.

No more. I'm getting healthy if it kills him!!!

Totally understand! I have felt the same frustrations.

It would be much easier to diet and exercise if my husband was 100% on board. Once you get married, it's hard not to be influenced by the habits of your spouse. But hopefully that goes both ways and we can start to be a positive influences on them while not taking on too much of the bad influence they give back? I give in now and then to the bad influence, but everyone deserves a break now and then anyway.

But I have seen a few rays of hope over the last few months that perhaps my hubby is getting more interested in his health - he signed up for a health program at work all by himself!!! He is doing better with eating more healthy or at least better portions without my prompting. It's hard to keep my mouth shut, but I'm doing it. Nagging only brings out the stubborn in him.

The one thing that gets me the most is he doesn't exercise at all. He makes up LOTS of excuses why not . . . I know it's not always fun or perfectly comfortable, but isn't that part of being an adult? And I know some people hate treadmills/ellipticals, but that's what we have available for free in our home and how hard would it really be to just watch TV or listen to music and walk (slowly even) for 10 min on the treadmill?

I am biting my lip though . . . I'm not going to nag, I'm not going to nag . . . (chant this to myself a lot lately)

It's his deal and hopefully he will make the decision on his own someday when he is ready.

Keeping my mouth shut and letting it go! But glad I'm not the only one who feels the frustration sometimes!

I am lucky that my hubby is 100% supportive. And he recently decided to start losing weight and getting back in shape. So now we are working out together in the evenings before dinner. But he still has to have his Mtn Dew and occasional junk food. Which I have finally learned to ignore when he eats them in front of me. I am hoping in the near future he will further wean himself off the soda and choose to snack healthier. But I know it takes time and a preson has to make the committment on their own.

Hang in there!

I was just thinking that, I absolutely refuse to be a short order cook and cook different things for everyone. If someone else wants to take the initiative and cook then they can cook what they want, until then you'll get what I am making! Within' reason! I don't make anything out of the ordinary, but use whole wheat, don't add sauces, extra salt, etc..
