bb.com & oxyegn! THEY ARE MY HEROES.
Sometimes I get so confused and angry. Its hard living with a person who is not strick and doesn’t follow through with things! My guy will take time to try to fix good lunches, eats rediculous amounts of food trying to get proper protien, worksout for almost 2 hours a day and then comes home and buys chips or nachos or ice cream. I admit I get my cravings as does anyone and my big time is at night when there is a definate no no but I try to keep away from it. Doesn’t it make it so much easier when the person you are with holds you accountable?? YES! Sometimes he’ll say "oh you know you dont want that" but rarly ever, instead he goes and gets the food or will talk about it to me enough untill i say yes. It’s frusterating b/c i have no willpower but i say no, i even rudley point out that he’s never gonna lose weight if he keeps it up, that what is the sence in being so good all day when you ruin at night with 100’s of empty calories?? but he just keeps at it! and then i follow. I know im only accountable to myself but its hard when night is a couples time and instead of cuddling or watching a movie he eats and I watch untill i reach over for some. I just wish I had the support that i give him!
But then I wake up and go on here and start a day off feeling good, and sometimes at night I will read my oxygen (that keeps me from the junk). The point is I dont need to be ripped, i dont need to compete, I never even have to turn heads but i wanna be healthy and live a good life…it feels SOOOO GOOD when i do, its just hard without support

I can certainly relate. While my wife tries to support my lifestyle she doesn’t have the same passion for it as I do. To be honest she’s one of my biggest dietary distractions as often she attempts to lure me into cheat meals. I’ve had to become tough lately and flat out refuse to eat what she’s made and create a serperate dinner for myself.

I couldn’t agree more. My husband boxes (amateur) and he’s trying to drop weight so he can go in a lower weight class which he thinks he can drop weight by eating an orange and a very small sandwich for lunch, no breakfast, a granola bar for a snack and then he comes home and eats HUGE portions for dinner and then snacks on everything in sight until he goes to bed. It’s so frustrating! It does make it more difficult to not snack with him (especially when it’s ice cream). Are we dating the same person! HA! My husband will do the same thing (talk about certain foods until I give in and say yes). He just wants someone to eat with. Let me know if you figure out a solution because I am in the same situation.

i do that same to my wife here lately! I have lost 85 lbs and the last week or so, she’ll be on board and ready to eat right and i’ll be like "hey lets get some mexican, or some chinese or pizza untill she caves in. In the beginning of my weightloss she done that to me and i managed it, but now i am doing it to her. I need to stop and will today, cause not only is it hurting her, it’s starting to hurt my job of maintaining!!good post helped my open my eyes a little!!!!
