Unsupportive spouse...

You have to take your health and diet into your own hands. Maybe she'll come around and my maybe she wont, but don't let that interfere with YOUR progress. My husband used to complain about some of the healthy items I started adding into the routine for dinners (brown rice, less red meat, different veggies, etc) and I stopped cooking those frozen processed meals he used to buy all the time.

He got with the program real quick because I work full time also and I was not going to cook two dinners. So my rationale was, eat what I prepare or cook your own meals. I wouldn't be offended because he is a grown man and can make his own decision about what he consumes. (Of course he opted not to prepare his own meals LOL) But he now likes our healthier meals, and has been motivated by my weight loss and healthier lifestyle. He has loss weight also and has changed his eating habbits on his own!

So... you may just have to start buying your own foods and making your own meals. You may even motivate your wife to change her way of eating (especially if you stop eating her cooking). :laugh:

Hang in there!

Your wife will probably read this and buy you some cheese..... to go with your whine, haha

You have to do it for yourself, start buying your own food, cut back on work to go to the gym, make it your priority. My wife used to cook very fattening foods, until me and my son stopped eating it and told her, "it is too fattening we won't eat it, she refused to buy what we wanted so I went and bought it, she used to try to de-rail my exercise by trying to tell me I couldn't go to the gym because something had come up..... now she is 'on the program' I am 50 pounds lighter, and I feel great.

After all your weight is your problem and no one elses, so don't even try to blame it on your wife!!

THIS^^^

When I was really heavy it was hard to watch my wife and kids eat hamburgers, fries, chicken nuggets, pasta, pizza, ect while I ate salads. I did all the cooking and when the kids were at their DAD's my ex-wife would always want to go OUT. I did all the cooking and shopping so I made two meals a night. Eventually the kids would request some of the stuff I was making for me so at least they were learning some healthy haibts. In any case you live your life and you have to control what you eat and you cant blame it on anyone else.

My advice....stick to the diet, get healthy, and every time you get to boom boom in the magic room give her some extra "boom" you will feel better.

Whatever you do, don't give up, she will make it harder the next time you start a weight loss program. My ex-husband was very unsupportive, but I gave him extra attention and told him I cared about his health, not just mine. Told him I don't wanna have to find another husband at 40. That helped. Didn't save our marriage but he was more supportive after that! Don't cook 2 meals, cook one. If she doesn't want it, she can make an ice cream sunday.
