Diet Saboteurs
I am married to a wonderful guy that just happens to have the metabolism of a 10 year old. He's 34 and can eat/drink anything he wants and not gain an ounce. Me, I can just look at his plate and put on two pounds.
He knows that I want to lose weight, but every time I start a new eating plan he immediately does something to sabotage my efforts. Yesterday, I was counting on him to lay out the chicken breast and grill it or stir-fry it for dinner, he gets home about an hour before I do - getting dinner started is usually his "chore". I get home last night only to find out that he had not laid out any chicken, let alone gotten it ready to be cooked.
We had to pick up DD at a basketball game and didn't make it home until 7:30 or so. Since all of the meat in the house was still frozen solid DH decides that we need take out for dinner. He stops and grabs something on our way home. This particular establishment he knows is one of my favorites and I just can't resist.
Yes, I am at fault for eating the bad food, but why does he have to do this every time I attempt to lose weight? The last time I was on a diet, following Nutrisystem - which worked for a bit - not two days into my eating plan he's bringing home cakes, cookies, chips, crackers, sodas - all things that I love.
I should mention that when I'm not dieting, he doesn't bring in the things that I like. When I'm not dieting I don't tend to binge on the junk, but I do overeat on everything else.
Anyway...that's my gripe! Why is it that those closest to us feel the need to tell us they will support our diet efforts yet the next breath say things like "Let's order pizza for dinner"?
