Am I crazy for feeling like this?!

Ok, Am I going crazy?  Since my diet has been advancing a bit and I can eat more of the normal foods, I get really really pissed off when I buy something to eat and put it in the pantry only to go back and find that my husband has eaten it all before I got any.  Or if I open something, I have my very small portion and go back the next day for some and it's gone.  It just makes me sooo mad I could bust.  I think Im going crazy.  I think it is so selfish of him to eat it all when he knows I can't consume very much at one time but he just goes after it eating non-stop.  And then he packs a lunch box for work that has enough food for two people and then comes back for more.  GRRRRR!  I swear I am only buying icky foods from now on.  I know some of it is probably jealousy but I just can't take it any more.  I want to tell him off.

I am sorry for venting but I needed to get it off my chest.  I really want your honest thoughts on this.  Am I totally crazy or what?  Do any of you experience this feeling?

Thanks, Tracy

I am probably crazier than you are cause at my house we all kind of have our own lil spaces.  I have my storage area for "diet" stuff, my son has a cabinet for "junk food and lunch stuff" and hubby has his cabinet for his cracker and cookies.  I dont know when, how or why we do this but we do lol.  Maybe you need your own lil storage?  i would be upset if my hubby ate all my kashi go lean cause i depend on it to go poo so yeah I feel ya.

Have you talked to him about it? Maybe he doesn't realize that you can eat that stuff now and you want some later. Try putting some for yourself in a separate container, and tell him HANDS OFF! He can have what's in the big container, but yours is YOURS.

Put barbed wire about it or something...

You girls crack me up.  I am not so mad now.  I have told him... he is a man... ummm sometimes dont listen type.  No offense to the ones that do.  I think he is more addicted to food than I ever imagined.  It seems he eats all the time.  Even before surgery I didn't eat constantly.  So, I am going tomorrow to find me a small tote to keep in the pantry with MY STUFF.  I will get some small containers for MY PORTIONS. and I will put it to him in a nice way.  My kids understand and they even ask before getting into my things to eat.  I guess he figures its fair game for him cause he is the man of the house.

Thanks for the suggestions and laughs.  I really didn't want to go off on him.

Have a good evening!

   DON'T FORGET THE PADLOCK!!!

I had the same thing with my mom and my hubby and finally I told them that the one shelf in the cabinet and one drawer is mine, have whatever they want but they have to replace it if they take off my shelf. :P

I'm so lucky! Bill won't even try my dehydrated stuff so they are definately 'my' stuff. We do have our own milk..his is 2% and mine is skim. He doesn't like yogurt so that's all mine. I get pleanty of fat free cottage cheese for both of us. He doesn't eat candy so my sf stuff doesn't disappear either. Honestly, other than his occational rum & diet pepsi, I have no idea why that man isn't losing weight! Bill won't even touch the left overs unless I tell him that they are in there & describe the containers to him. He tries to be sure he isn't getting into anything that works well with my pouch.

Now...my ex and my kids when they were still at home...and Pre-RNY....they would really tick me off because I'd get groceries, work four 12 hour shift and then there be nothing left in the cabinets! I started hoarding things in my locker at work just so I'd know I would be able to get some! Now days...I keep my instant oats, tea bags, and sweet & low in an unlocked drawer at work. That's the only hoarding I need to do and I just do that to save $ while I'm at work.

I'm not sure how you get someone to be more considerate. I tried to raise my kids to be..it took with my daughter but not my son (he picked up on my ex being a pig instead). I know Bill's mom raised him right though and I love her very much for that!

I keep all my stuff in one of the drawers in the refrigerator.  My husband doesn't bother it.  He wouldn't eat most of it anyway.  I MAKE him try some of it and he always spits it out. 
He doesn't like any of my chewable vitamins or protein bars? 

My grandmother (lives with us) and she can't see well.  So, she gets into stuff sometimes.  But once I started the special drawer thing it has helped. 

My husband is not overweight.  Well, he has about 20lbs he could lose.  But I NEVER realized how much food he eats until I had RNY.  Everyone had always talked about how much he ate (he can eat TONS and not gain an ounce).  But I was always eating WITH him.  Now, I am amazed.  He eats a bunch of junk, too. 

I did find my grandmother eating one of my protein bars.  She thought it was a granola bar.  I was so mad.  I know it is childish, but damn, I can only eat a few things.....don't eat my protein bar!!! 

I think it is normal to feel this way. 

My dh is a human garbage disposal.lol
I have a cabinet i hide my protein bars in and they really dont bother anything but my cottage cheese i cant keep it in the house..............
I will offer them something and its like no mom its yours we will eat this or that.
