in Health and Weight Loss
Anyone else have a spouse/partner/boyfriend who really eats unhealthy and is consistently detrimental to their efforts?

My boyfriend obviously doesn't force me to eat unhealthy but he's having chinese food and Mcdonald's and all this crap and we have to go out of our way to get food for me as well.... SO FRUSTRATING!

    My bf loves Chinese food, it's hard to watch him scarf it down when I LOVE eggrolls so much. :( I try to eat something I like that's healthy so I'm filling my craving of "tasty food". But it IS frustrating and annoying. He likes his beer too so while he's sipping on a Coors I'm there with water. I totally get you!!

    I agree!!! My boyfriend is a twig and he eats whatever he wants! I try to cook for us and that helps because then I can control how healthy the meal is and I also get to try new recipes. For example, if he cooks he adds tons of butter and salt to everything! When I cook I add low fat cheese, no salt, add more vegetables, etc. I like taking foods that we both enjoy and making healthy versions. Going out to eat... that's another story lol. Often times I'll try to pick vegetarian things or just eat half of what I order.

    Yes.. I feel your pain.. It's hard to be in love with a bad eater. My fiance does not ear veggies.. I just don't get that, I could eat veggies every meal. But like many of you I've had to learn to make two meals and look to my goal.. maybe someday he will come around.. good luck ; )
