Yi!

Help! My husband is killing me! In more ways than one. I’ve been trying to diet pretty seriously for the last several months. I have a lot of weight to lose, not only to look and feel better, but to be healthy. I really don’t need heart disease or diabetes in my future. I’ve been doing a dieting program and have been doing sort of good I guess. But my husband is really not supporting me the way I want him to. He’s all for me dieting and losing weight, but then he keeps all of my trigger foods in the house and even eats them in front of me. Junk food is a big weakness for me, and sweets are an even bigger trigger. So when he’s wolfing down a box of Ding Dongs in front of me because he has the metabolism of a 7 year old, it’s really hard for me. And on top of that he’ll always offer to go out to eat and even though I want to eat healthy, he’ll just tell me to “eat what I really want to get” and “one thing won’t hurt” and I dive right into the fried chicken. I guess I’m kind of expecting him to be my food coach. Or at least my food partner. He always says that he’s not on the diet so that he can eat whatever he wants and I should back down off of him. And i think he can eat what he wants, just not in front of me or keep all the bad food in the house where I can run to it whenever I have a bad day. Am I being a total B about this? I just need someone on my side. I’m trying to do good. Am I just placing all the blame on him because I can’t do it?

Thank you guys for helping. You guys rock!!

Steve threw out a question to Slacker, asking…”When your wife was pregnant, she had to stop drinking… How did you do?”

Slacker thinks Steve made a valuble point. What if she was an alcoholic…? He would probably still drink, but not keep it in the house or drink in front of her…

Does Candy have a leg to stand on? Does he need to re-adjust his life?

What advice do you have for Candy?
