Let me start off by saying that I love food. Cooking, learning about, and eating great food are some of my favorite things. My husband feels the same way, so we frequently put a lot of effort and love into our meals. We got married about four months ago and didn't live together until then. Everything has been wonderful, and we've had so much fun cooking together and for each other, but I've been gaining weight. I now weigh ten pounds more than I did at the wedding, and I know at least part of it is that he is able to eat so much more than me without gaining weight. He already has a much higher metabolism than me, and he also has a job that has him on his feet for twelve-hour shifts three times a week. He was bringing giant lunches and still losing weight.
I can happily eat low-calorie, veggie-based meals, especially when I use my spiralizer. However, unless I made a ridiculous amount of that food, it wouldn't be nearly enough food for him. I hate the idea of making separate food for him because it's a lot of work to make a bunch of different things, and I also know that it would be hard to be happy with my dinner if I saw him eating something I also wanted but couldn't have. I just don't know how to make food that works for both of us without making a bunch of extra work for myself or making myself unhappy.
Has anyone else on here dealt with this?
