sabatoge

Does anyone ever have this feeling also? I have been married 16 years to a great man who loves to  cook. He makes the best  of everything.I've told everyone  here I've made a vow to lose 20 lbs by August 25 ( my birthday). This time i didn't tell him I was doing on a diet. Seem when i do ....BIG coincidence. He'll start making fried chicken, chicken fried steak  mash potatoes, gravy  and dessert. My kids joke when he starts this by saying 'Mom you on a diet"?  don't give in he's trying to make you fatter! well this time I'm not going to say a thing and let see how it works. He's great always tells me he loves me the way i am. But i don't like the way i am i tell him. Any advice? and BTW i know i could eat this stuff and eat in moderation.........but it's hard !

Sabotage? hmmmm? Does breakfast in bed with huge portions on the plate count? Does snacking in front of me count? Does bringing home "binge" items count?  Yeah. I've experienced attempted sabotage. Stay strong and show him he son't get ya this time. You can do it. Take what you know you can have and dump the rest on his plate. Maybe he'll get the point and you won't have to say a word. Beth

LOL.......i feel ya Beth. I'll try the dumping on his plate let ya' know how it works

It is hard!  And I know how you feel.  Like Janina said once, "guys are stupid".lol  I swear half the time they don't think. Only thing I can think of is that if they have never experienced losing weight and being heavy, they just don't understand.  My dh tries soooo hard to be supportive.  BUT, he "forgets" ALL the time.  I can talk to him until I'm blue in the face one day about not trying to tempt me, and the next day he asks me to go to a buffet dinner.  He literally forgets!  I still can't figure out how you can forget within a day, but he does.  It just amazes me. It's hard!  Hang in there, get on here to vent if you have too, just don't put that fried stuff in your mouth! :)  Right now I'm making a birthday cake for my daughter.  This will be the forth birthday since the middle of April.  She of course is having me make MY favorite cake. UGHH!  Two more birthday's to go!  By July third I'll finally be done with family birthdays until Christmas!  YAYY!!
