The food police thing is a sure way to tick me off. My DH is pretty good at not doing that. Of course it's easy now that the weight is coming off.
I think it was frustrating for both of us to see me try low fat/high carb diets without any results for years. One of the things I would do in the past, is fall of the LF/HC wagon and eat ice cream and other no-nos.
I don't have that problem with LC and I have lost weight, so no more reason for DH to feel the need police my food.
He's actually really supportive. Sort of eats LC with me, with a few exceptions. He does complain about how I eat the cheese and nothing else off the pizza, he always feels like he has to eat the bread I leave behind, plus all his pizza too. I've been telling him not to do it, but he can't seem to let it go to waste.
I'm also fortunate in that DH likes bigger women. He doesn't find waifs attractive and I'm definitely a curvy person whether I'm thin or fat. My thin is still pretty hefty.
My only complaint is he doesn't really understand the LC diet. He'll occasionally contemplate going on it with me as he could stand to lose 20lbs, but can't seem to grasp that LC means no milk, no fruit, etc.... After watching me for the last few months, you'd think he would know that.
Oh, and on the food police. I've always told DH to stay out of it, but that it was okay to try and distract me. Instead of 'don't eat that, you'll gain weight' to try 'let's take the dogs for a walk' or 'let's go to a movie', which is more subtle and a better way to support someone's diet.
