Does your spouse sabotage your diet too?

My husband does the same thing. Even when we go out to eat. I choose a low fat item and he says is that all your going to eat. He says I'm fine but I want to be healthier. I want him to also. It is really fustrating when he won't let me do my thing. I think your husband isn't trying to sabotage your diet he's only doing what he's use to doing. When he brings the stuff home don't eat it. I throw it out. He doesn't know that I do that. Now I go shopping with him so he can't buy the bad stuff. Keep working hard. Your husband will get the hang of it soon. Before you know it he will be losing the weight to.

no he does the totaly opposite and sometimes it drives me nuts. i like to have a little something sweet every once in awhile, and if he knows ,then bye bye it goes

I don't think he's doing in on purpose. I think your hubby just has a habit that needs to be replaced with a good habit. My DH has learned that there will be NO ice cream in the house until I lose my goal weight. Once a week, the family is entitled to splurge a bit--we walk or ride our bikes to the Dairy Shack for a cone. Maybe some kind of agreement can be made up for the two of you. Say, if you lose x amount of pounds this week, he can go out for a treat. If you both lose x amount of pounds, then you both can have a treat. This may help him at least realize that you are serious about the new life change that you are trying to accomplish. He may feel guilty about going to get an ice cream without you, and make an effort to lose as well. This is only a theory, never been tested, so if yOU decide to try it, I wish you the best of luck!!! Wishing you the best of luck with the weight loss! You will feel so much better when you succeed!!!

The problem here is that my husband doesn't need to loose weight and he says that I don't either. I am 10 pounds heavier than I was last summer, so I definitely need to get back to my comfortable size. My husband is just like yours. He called yesterday in the morning and said, "Do you want me to pick up donuts or McDonalds for breakfast?" Well, I wanted donuts of course, but I was strong and said neither, I already ate. Then yesterday afternoon he wanted to get takeout for lunch and then take out for dinner again. I told him that I already had dinner in the crockpot, but I did break down and have a taco salad for lunch with him. Yesterday was his day off, so I go threw this once a week for a whole day. Then in the evenings, he is always wanting to eat ice cream or make muffins! I don't think that they are really trying to sabotage our diets. I think that they want us to enjoy what they are enjoying and they don't go far enough to think about us trying to loose weight....that's a man for you:)

Im with you on this one beautyqueen..my guy is always trying to sabotage me when im dieting. Right now im doing Weight Watchers and he pays for it but he still brings me Dunkin Donuts, takes me out to eat, brings some munchies home from work and then tries to make me the bad one when I do go to grab those dee-lishis foods LOL! I dont understand him at all on that issue..men do that because they dont need to lose the weight or if they do its no that important to them like it is to us.

No way, he, in my opinion is a loving husband, who does not like to come home empty handed however you can ask him to bring fruit and juices instead , i hope he will like to.

When my husband was alive,he loved to cook and he would kick me out of the kitchen and serve me a huge plate of food and I would eat it because I would feel bad to waste it.And I definitley gained weight and at the time I was trying to loose weight.

My husband does the same thing but he also brings me diet foods all the time. He knows I'm trying really hard to stay on my diet. On occasion, when he brings in the sweets or fatty foods I'll have a bite or two; don't want to totally deprive myself... :) It's up to me and me alone to have self control over how much I eat. He works over 12 hours a day at work so he doesn't need to diet; he burns it off automatically and I can't blame him for bringing in things he likes to eat. I don't think your hubby is trying to sabatoge your diet. Perhaps if you ask him to bring you a diet food, like some carrots or lettuce on occasion. It's up to us alone to stay with the plan... :) Keep going, it'll get easier as time goes on.

What I want to know is why would a guy sabotage our diets? I mean really why the heck would they do that? Yet I think you have something there. My husband might have to lose 10 pounds but I have much much more to lose. He knows my struggle and pain over this. Yet he always buys the junk food. I think he convinces himself that I am not going to eat it. But of course I get in there and have some. Do you think they do this unconsciously?

I don't know if it is sabotage or not but my hubby does the same thing. I think he feels bad for me because I get so depressed when I diet. I think he would prefer me happy and fat than miserable, so when I have been good and he feels for me he will bring home one of my favorite treats.

of course not she will support me 100%..

It could be because he finds you fine the way you are. That may be his way of trying to show you that fact.
