This could get long, please bare with me!
My boyfriend originally started this weight loss journey with me. Most of that time we spent eating out and gaining "love" chub plus some. I got on the scale one day and had hit 177lbs! Ouch! I started watching what I ate and he followed suit and started working out with me. It was great at first, when I didn't want to stay on track he would talk me out of eating and when he wanted something I could do the same.
It came to and end when he hit his goal. He didn't have as much weight to lose as me and since men lose quicker then women it happened pretty rapidly. He then told me that now he wanted to tone up. Since then though he has started to eat uncontrollably! In one day he will have toast with caramel spread on it, several suckers, several candies, waffles with cinnamon spread on them and so on. He has gained back 3 -4lbs in a month, he just laughs it off! Luckily I have stayed strong and have not touched any of those foods but he makes it so hard! Every time he gets up to get yet another thing he will ask me if I want anything, when I reply "No" he asks again! Him and I have talked about this as well, I asked him nicely to not ask me if I want it because It makes me want to say yes. He told me he would stop but every night right after dinner now he asks "do you want anything?" "are you still hungry" while he is making his goodies! He his consciously doing it as well! It baffles me, how can he actually not care? Last night is a perfect example of this - We had our dinner, it was delicious. He told me how full he was while rubbing his stomach. Not even 5mins later he turns, looks into the kitchen, looks at me and says "mmmmmmmmmm caramel dip, do you want anything?" When I said "No, I'm full" he said "Are you sure? I'm full to but I want some caramel spread" CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!
His idea of working out is also playing Kinect sports on the xbox He is not even doing the hard events like track and field, he does bowling and table tennis... Seriously? I am running my a** off on the treadmill, and he is playing video games. After that he seriously tells me how "hard" it is and how he is so tired because he played for the whole hour! Ummmm, excuse me? Your tired?! Who is the one who just ran over 4 miles on the da** treadmill!?! UGH! It makes me so mad to see him put so little effort in and talk like he is working his butt off. He recently started P90X and for the first day was all into it! Although he still refused to give up his candy habit because the nutrition plan they give was "stupid" When he actually did his first video though that all stopped. He would half a** the moves and then just stand there and stare at the video" After that he told me how hard he worked out. Let me tell you, the amount of effort he put into it was laughable! Yesterday was the same thing, I was doing intervals on the treadmill and he was doing his video (kinda). After he told me all kinds of great things! He was so tired, the guy on the video said that was the hardest work out in the series, he was shaking and so on. When I said something like "Yeah, the intervals kicked me butt today" he looked at me dumb founded and said "well, how long did it take you? I thought there would be more running" WHAT!!!!! My intervals were this my recovery jog would be 5mph for 1 min and I would sprint at my hardest for 30 seconds at 8mph. I just started doing it so I am working my way up but I thought it was pretty good! Guess I was wrong.
I felt horrible when he said that! I have never told him his effort was laughable and he will never get toned eating like he is! Well..... I may have told him some of it after he said that to me yesterday but he deserved everything he got! It still didn't change anything though, the boy will use ANYTHING for an excuse to eat. Including bedroom "activities" if you catch my drift. First thing he does after is say "mmmmmmm, it always makes me hungry" and goes to the fridge. Its 11PM!! AHHH. I have told him he doesn't have to work out with me and that if he wants to eat crap then go ahead but stop doing it around me. He assures me he wants to eat "healthy" and wants to work out still. I am just going to stay strong but I am so freakin annoyed right now.
Thanks for listening everyone, I'm sorry it was so long.
