That is my biggest problem, my husband makes me fat!!! He is a meat and potatoes type of guy and wants a full meal with dessert every night!! In the past I have made healthier meals for him and he just eats 3 times as much. It will be really hard when he gets home. I do all the cooking and it is going to suck to cook a GOOD, YUMMY, BAD FOR YOU meals. Then I have to make my meal onthe side, when I can smell the good stuff cooking?? aarrgghh!!! It is easy with him gone, the kids live off Mac & Cheese and other quick foods that I don't even care if I eat or not. Last night I made them real ravioli, not the canned crap. It just about killed me to walk away while they were eating. I wanted some!! But to fit in my plan, I could only have 4 of them. Didn't sound like enough to me, so I made something else for myself.
My family is another issue. I am going to my Mom's to BBQ today, but she was planning on grilling burgers and brats. SOOOOO, I am bringing my own chicken breast and salad mix. She is at the farmers market right now buying vegetables. Once I told her I was bringing my own food, I think she ran out to try to accomodate me. lol. I really love my mom. Anyway, whenever we have a family function or whatever, my family is waaaayy into food. Holidays are going to be tough.
