I find that my husband might be what has been keeping me from retaining my healthy eatting habits.
Last night I reheated turkey spagetti that I had made the night before. He couldn't tell the first time he ate it that it wasn't beef. He did comment that it looke unappealling but tasted ok.
Last night he throws this huge fit about he doesn't want to eat it cuz it's turkey. So I told him to eat something else. (There were tons of leftovers in the fridge.) He get's mad cuz I won't prepare it for him. I said that I had already made dinner and that if he didn't like it he could fix something himself.
Now he's all pissy with me and I'm in a terrible mood, and it's his birthday today. I did however manage to keep myself from stopping for a huge mocha latte this morning. Enjoyed a Naked Juice Smoothie, cereal and one slice of 12grain toast. But thats besides the point.
The point is, it is soooo difficult to try to please his palet (meat and potatoes) and still eat healthy. He constainly makes comments on any new recipes that might be alittle diffrent from the tradtional fare that I have made in the past. Heaven forbid that I try couscous or any other side dish that isn't potatoes or rice. Any whole wheat pasta is out of the questions. And 2 veggies at dinner and no potatoes, what in the world is a matter with me???
I have even gone so far as to try WW recipes and stick with the portion size for myself. They do offer some very tradional hearty recipes that I was sneaking past him. But he would go back for 2nd and 3rds. And this prompted me to consume more. I know, I know, I'm in control of me, but it doesn't help when he doesn't think that what he does affects me.
He tells me if you want to lose weight than lose it. Easier said than done. And he knows that cuz he weighs 50 lbs more than he should. But he says that hes happy with himself and see no need for change.
I guess sometimes I just want to pull my hair out and scream. But I'm not sure that anyone would even notice.
