well...I was driving home from work right now and I was hungry. so as I am driving, I am mentally shopping my frig and pantry to decide what to have when I get home. I decide upon some chicken breast that I had coated in parm and pork rinds and fried last nite. This will do the trick ...nothing less nothing more...I came home and opened the frig and voila! it has been eaten by my husband...who does not need to lose and has a choice of several(I mean tons) snacks and things in the house that I can't eat...
Yesterday I did the same thing and decided upon leftover from nite b4...just a few bites were saved(sometimes a few bites is all I need for a meal)he ate that too! Instead of everything else there is to eat in there and in the pantry...he eats my food...and yet he has been bugging me to lose for months...is he sabotaging me? I didn't wanna be bitchy and say"why do you eat my food!" but...c'mon people...I am trying to get this off the ground and going. I just wondered if this happens to y'all...

I am on this with my son so I expect it may happen with him but no not yet.But if my husband did it who is not on the diet I would say something I do not think that is bitchy.There is a way to do it without being rude or mean just explain the situation and hopefully he will understand.Good luck.

Seems he's recognized that you're eating the good food. Maybe you need to make extra so there are leftovers for both of you.



Low carb rules!

yes...I am making him the low carb dinners I am eating...the recipes are great and he likes them...which makes it easier so we eat the same thing together...but he isn't working right now and I am and I was just so tired when I got home...it popped my balloon. That's why i didn't say anything to him right then cuz in the moment, it might have come across...shall we say...unkind? I know I can chat later with him about it. I was just thinking if he was dieting and I wasn't and the frig had 50 things I could eat and there were 2 things in there I knew were on my husband's program but the 50 other things in there I knew he couldn't have...I would save those 2 things for him...esp if I had been prompting him to lose weight....just saying...

That's because as women, we always consider others, men don't, they just think of themselves. Women are from Venus, men are from Mars, and until we understand that we are different, we will ALWAYS be at odds.

Easy.....write your name on it!!!

Make it clear that you plan on eating that for dinner the next day. Or ask him to chip in and fix dinner so it's ready when you get home. Sometimes men just need it spelled out.

good idea...

I've claimed the top shelf of the fridge! He knows pretty much everything on the top shelf is low-carb, especially when he sees the Almond Breeze Coconut/Almond milk He won't touch that with a 10 foot pole!! Although he is allowed to have the strawberries, but that's about it!

Works for me but there's just the two of us.

Roll up a newspaper, slap him on the nose with it, and firmly say "No!" :-)

I would make my husband's life miserable if he bugged me about losing weight.

My ex used to do that, I couldn't stand it.

As far as him eating your food tell him to back off and eat his own junk. My husband normally eats what I make or he opens a can..those are pretty much his two choices.

Yes, I'm controlling and mean.

Spray him with a water bottle! Works for cats... actually, I don't know if that's true. I never punish my kitties.

Sounds fair to me!

Hahahahaha...I liked that. It made me laugh!

Explain the problem to him calmly and ask him to support you better in your quest. If that doesn't help, then freeze the leftovers and thaw in the microwave when you want them. If that fails, then chain and padlock the fridge! LOL

I got my own little fridge and I've had it for several years.If you got space,this might be the best solution for you too.Yeah,I know,I'm also mean.....
