Role reversal?

[Andi30]

I started this diet because after having my kids I was just not happy with myself. I weighed MORE than my husband and I was sooo scared that he would figure it out. (although he probably knows)

I have done well, I have lost like 20 pounds and I really dont think about food like I used to. I was obsessed with food, I think i would spend all day long thinking about what to eat, when to eat......yada yada. I dont do that anymore at all. But my husband does, he always tell me how starving he is, and this is after eating a whole meal. He leaves and goes to Jack n the Box at 11pm and it makes me sick, when 3 months ago I would have been excited to eat with him. He is really grossing me out, I feel like I cant say anything cuz I have no room to talk......Plus I wouldnt want him to think I think I am better than him just cuz I have changed my way of living/eating.

I had to tell someone about this cuz it is driving me crazy!!!

Anybody else gone through this?

Re: Role reversal?

I am sorry it is frustrating..but honestly ..the only person you can change is yourself and I think you are doing a remarkable job..it is kind of like quitting smoking ..it is easier if you do it together but if you can't then do it yourself ..after a while he may or may not catch on..my husband lost 20lbs recently because a friend made the suggestion that I take an unattractive picture of him and then just show him...I had been making lc food for both of us but it was the side crap he ate that kept him from loosing ...after seeing that picture he stopped the side crap alone...If I had told him to he would have denied it was happening anyway...this guy was using a can of sweetened condensed milk in his coffee every two days ...barf...anyway ..the milk in his coffee stopped and so did the side trips to crapfoodland...he just kind of joined me ..but it took a long while to manipulate him to my way of thinking on this ...
good luck and focus on your own goals ..he will catch on...

I say give him a little something else to think about at 11pm instead of Jack in the Box..try the "I got a little something for your hunger" smile and see what happens...hey it burns calories, gets your heart rate up and is loads of healthy fun to boot!!!


but that is just me thinking again
