Sorry to hear that. I bet it's common, my guy still eats whatever and is opposed to me cutting mashed potato, butter, white bread, white pasta, etc... and the candy around here...argh. Yeah, maybe buy your own stash of healthy stuff and hide the unhealthy...or maybe pile it in his personal space and tell him not to show it to you!!
The scale issue, yeah I don't live without one myself but they're good and bad. My new digiscale is less friendly in pounds, and reads E a lot when I Really Am!! standing still... and ya can't read it standing over it!! argh! Ah my kingdom for a erfect scale...
