Today at lunch...

[Miss Phode]

I met my husband today for lunch. I ordered a sirloin steak, steamed veggies (broccoli, zucchini, yellow squash) and a salad with blue cheese. While I was eating my salad and waiting on our main course, he was munching on the loaf of bread they put on the table. I didn't really want any, but, just for fun I asked if I could have some. He said no. I asked why, and he says "because you're on the diet". OK, that's fine. I truly didn't want any. So then I said, "If you had a cocaine problem, and were trying to quit the stuff, I would never do cocaine in front of you." He says "Thanks hon, that's nice...but I'm still eating the bread."

Men!

We men are sooooo considerate. Throwing ourselves on the grenade for the sake of our family. That's true love. ;-)

LOL that's hilarious.


When i get offered things at other peoples houses , or by wait staff, like bread, pizza etc that I don't eat andI refuse, my hubby usually leans over and whispers 'she can't have any....she has Atkinsons'...

DH had some of my favorite cookies last week and I asked him to please not eat them around me - that the smell bothered me - guess what he has almost every night as a snack? Yep those cookies.

I'm pretty lucky in the fact that my boyfriend asked my permission to eat that stuff...when I told him I was re-starting Atkins, we talked about how good it would be for me, etc. I thought he was going to ask me a serious health question, but instead he asked, "Is it OK if I still eat chips and bread in front of you? I mean, if you don't want me to, I won't. I don't want to make you upset." And I'm like, dude, whatever, eat all of it, you need fattening up.

Later that week I was helping him make dinner--he was grilling chicken or something outside, so I decided to make his pillsbury dinner rolls for him...immediately he became alarmed when he saw me rolling the dough.

He said in a panic-y voice, "wait, you're on Atkins...are you allowed to touch that!?!??" Like it would enter my skin through osmosis and make me fat.

Idiot.
