Having trouble eating a healthy dinner
This is my first time here, but I need help. Im trying to lose weight, but the culprit in my family is my husband. When we first married we were very active, and could eat whatever we wanted. Three children later, I gain weight if I look at food hard, and he's still as skinny as a rail. My husband is a truck driver and when he is away from home I have no trouble cooking healthy meals for myself and my daughters. I've even lost up to four pounds in a week when he was away. The trouble is that my husband is use to the big meals that he grew acustomed to when we first got married, and since he is on the road a lot he looks forward to those meals when he comes home. He tells me that real men need real food, not bird food. He doesnt think I have a weight problem, but the 25 pounds I've put on in the past two years is increasing steadily. When he is home, the weight that I take off when he is away, comes right back. I feel as though it is my wifely duty to have him a good, hot meal on the table each night. Im getting so frustrated I just feel like not even trying anymore. Help!!!!
