re: Eating healthy when SO doesn't?

<blockquote><b>Quoting kthx.:</b>" Like the crystal light? yeah I liked some of 'em. I'll have to get some and just get a case of water. I was using that when I was in my starving phase... like 500 calories a day, man   It was nuts."</blockquote>




Be careful with those. They contain aspartame :/

We just compromise. A little less junk, a little more healthy stuff.

For dinners I make stuff that can be healthier depending on how I eat it. If I make stir fry and rice, Brett will just eat the rice and chicken. Jot broccoli or peppers.
If we make tacos, he can add sour cream, cheese, etc to his. Ikk have chicken and lettuce and sauce.

I wouldn't be making food for someone who refused to eat anything that I can eat without feeling like a fatty.

We have this problem too!
Bo LOVES his unhealthy food...I, on the other hand, can't do a lot of the stuff that he likes anymore. Like with my liver disease, I can't have fried foods, and Bo lives for fried foods. So, if I'm making chicken and he wants it fried, I'll bread his and just season mine....and throw it in the oven. It still comes out just as good. And it's so much healthier.
Veggie wise, for some reason he's grown against them in the last couple of months and all he really wants is broccoli and cheese...which is fine. But I get tired of broccoli sometimes. So I'll just get a small can of a different veggie and make it too...and if he doesn't want to eat it, that's his problem. lol
We do a lot of rice and potatoes...which aren't exactly healthy, but I don't do big servings either. We've both cut our portions down SOOOO much!
I've FINALLY went from 196 down to 191....stupid weight kept going up. But cutting my portions (even if it's not healthy) has kept my weight down.

Ugh I'm jealous of your weight. I'm at 208  

Portions are another thing... he seriously eats for 2 people. but I can't make him eat less... he's a BIG guy (6'7" and 270 lbs). He doesn't seem to be gaining anything lately... but he isn't losing like he wants to, KWIM? Like a dinner that could feed 4 people... is ONE dinner at our house. With no leftovers. I'll make dinner, then when it's gone... he'll go and get some chili dip and chips   I am really worried about his health... but, he's a grown man and can eat how he wants. I can't really play mommy and tell him no, KWIM?

Girl I see the food you eat... it's all veggies and, things that look like I wouldn't eat 'em    



Like a lot of things LOOK good, but I have a texture thing. Broccoli tastes good... but the texture is what kills me.

Don't be jealous, I look like a fat cow. lol I'm really short, so it looks horrible on me, where you look no where close to 208.
And I totally get it, that's how I feel with Bo...I was super worried about his health, he was up to 290 and he's 6'4...he was eating like that too. But, he switched to diet and sometimes he won't eat as much...he's lost 40-50lbs since last year. Which I'm very thankful for.

I need to do something   SO said he was like... 230 a few years ago. But he just... ballooned
