I think my wife is trying to sabotage me….and I am dead serious!
Here is the thing, I have tried my best to stop talking to my wife about weight loss and have been doing a good job so far! Now I have a suspicion she is trying to sabotage my progress!
I am losing weight little by little each day while my wife is gaining. That makes her mad like crazy and I still say nothing. Yesterday she even started crying after weighing in and all I did is comfort her. She is her heaviest ever.
But last night she cooked pasta after I told her I was on strict diet from now on because I have a goal for a wedding on November 29, 2008. So, I told her to just give me the chicken of the pasta and I will eat it with salad. She was mad but I guess she will get over it!
Today for dinner she did burgers! Since it is beef, I decided to eat it without the bread! Move forward…now she put candy out and decided that she is in the mood for a cake and baking one as I type! I seriously believe she is trying to sabotage my progress and I am here trying to be the bigger person and not say a thing!
I am an emotional eater…and this is making me want to eat because I am so upset! So staying away from the kitchen…even if I had some m&m’s already and feeling bad about it!
This seriously sucks!

Thats tough man. Try to stay focused, and be an encourager. Good luck!

Well stay away from those M&M’s first off!
Try and tell her that you want to do the weight loss with her, encourage and motivate her.

It sounds like she’s sabotaging herself as well. Here she is crying over her weight, yet she’s cooking and baking the worst things!
Hang tough!!!! I’m sorry she’s putting you through a tough situation. I’d be pretty angry if my husband did those things knowing my goals.

Why don’t YOU cook for her?? Plan your meals and cook for the both of you.
Find out if she has any weight loss goals and what she is willing to do to reach them. You should go to chickentuna’s body space and then check out her web site. She will help you prioritize (and maybe even your wife too).

If your wife is working towards the same goal as you, both of your lives will be much easier! You can build a really great connection too. Being competitive is a lot of fun. Rather than ignore the situation, turn it to your favor. Cooking for her is a great idea.
Peace
