Tell her she can go to hell with her little corn tortillas ... insist on flour ... the really big ones ... and demand your weight in cheese be put over the fried meat. And don't forget the sour cream. B*tch clearly doesn't know how to make a taco.0

while you're at the store, get some whole wheat tortillas. Don't fry yours - make a quesadilla instead!0

but she's making TACOS.
TACOS people. TACOS! not burritos, not quesadillas, not enchiladas, even ****ING FLAN!
tacos.0 -
Go to the store and buy the oil. You don't need to eat them, maybe you need to go on a walk when she's making them. You can be strong. Tell your wife how you are feeling too. My husband sometimes doesn't understand the little things that bug me, but he won't get it unless I tell him. Good luck!
Fear is healthy. Her being supportive is not. Tell her you will not make the unhealthy food anymore. You will make a healthy meal. If she wants that unhealthy she can go get it someplace else. BTW How much life insurance you got? (Are you worth more dead then alive, wink wink )0 -
umm.. just dont eat the fried ones. have her save a few from the fryer and make those yours.0

As you go to the store stop by a place that serves salads with some protein and eat it there or go to the park. Put your cell phone on mute. Then buy her the oil (a small one). Go home and give it to her. Let her eat all the fried tocos by herself. Meanwhile you are out of the house. Don't smell the tacos, don't see the tacos, don't hear the invitation and don't tempt yourself. Go to an arcade and play for 2 hours, enough time for her to clear the table and kitchen. Another place to go is to the park and pray "grateful prayers" for everything and everyone..... It really works wonders. No wishful (bad) thinking! That is very stressful and will provoke eating.0

I am also on the diet journey alone. If she insists on cooking hers in oil and loading it with fat that is her choice However you also have a choice to make a healthier alternative. I like making my tacos with turkey burger and then doing more of a lettuce wrap to cut out the carbs. They are just as tasty and I don't feel guilty. You might find she likes your version better anyways. My family is starting to like my healthy alternatives and we are eating healthier because of my choices.
Good luck and remember it is you that loses if you give in not your wife.0 -
Tacos lol no seriously just avoid it. :laugh:0

Just spray windex on the tacos.
And in her face, whilst shouting, "In your face!".
This will practically guarantee no future tacos.0 -

learn to cook and fill yourself up with broccoli sprinkled with parmesan cheese!0

I tried, guys. I really did. Off to get the oil now. I can already feel my arteries clogging. This makes me so angry, and sad. I really wish that she would show me that she loved me -- even a little bit. It's killing me -- figuratively and literally.0
-
*sigh* Oh you crazy trolls. :yawn:0
-
Tell her fine, but that you will make your own. STEAM the tortillas, add what YOU want to the taco, no cheese, sour cream, that kind of stuff. Onions, cilantro and hot sauce is the way to go.
You guys can share meals, but you can make your own healthier version of the meal for yourself.
This again!0 -

Wrap yourself in bacon before you put on the garbage bag, I saw in a thread here it helps absorb the fat. It is a true fact.0 -
She's trying to kill you. GET OUT OF THE HOUSE NOW.0

WHAT IS YOUR WEIGHT? WHAT IS HER WEIGHT?:bigsmile:0

You're right ... flour equals a burrito ... guess I'm just hungry and fried tortillas with meat and cheese sounds damn tasty right about now ... the bigger, the better. Tell you what, if you're this conflicted about it, I could come over and eat what your wife has prepared in your place. Now be a dear and get the oil, I'm hungry. :flowerforyou:0 -
If you were going out to get oil why did you just buy yourself something healthy to eat? Just because she wants to eat crap doesn't mean you have to. You can cook for yourself.0

Nice reply, very supportive and gives concrete, usable advice0
-
Yes. Right around this time each week, my husband gives me side-eye and suggests dessert. I try giving him sex instead, but then he just wants both.
Negotiation fail.
You + fresh strawberries + Lite whipped topping.
Everyone wins.0 -
WHAT IS YOUR WEIGHT? WHAT IS HER WEIGHT?:bigsmile:
Yes! Yes! Now someone is on the right track. Divide by 2....carry the one.....add in carbs......divide by exercise calories!!!!!0 -
Have you at all changed your life insurance policy? Or has she asked you to sign something without telling you what it was? Tread lightly I foresee a hit coming up0
-
That is a good suggestion. This is tough because you are trying to make good choices for your health, but she wants something else today.
Get yourself some salad greens, make yourself a non-fried taco with healthier fillings, or forego the taco and put the fillings on top of the salad, and eat dinner together.0 -
Who says she cant have them and you have unfried ones or something different to eat?0
-
man up and EAT!0
-
My hubby and I eat the same dinner most nights ( healthy low carb).....but he's not on a diet I am. So, there are nights that I make my hubby what ever he wants....and I can't eat it. That is only because it's my choice to get thin & healthy, or go back to my old habits!! He also eats chips, & ice cream in the evenings. I have a apple, and I'm okay with it. When we go on vacation I will feel so good wearing my swim suit this year....I can't wait!!0

Tell her you want yours UNFRIED...thats all. And smile when you do.
HOOOOOOOOSE!
LOL :laugh: srsly0 -

I totally agree. Maybe she knows what she is doing, maybe she is sabotaging you because she knows she deosn't have the dedication to eat healthy. Buy the oil, but remember to talk to her about it. You NEED to inform her how important this is to you. If she loves you, she will try to understand and be more supportive.0 -
Don't go, tell her she probably doesn't need it either!0
