| This topic is perfct for me! Same story here! Hubby and I were both really healthy and fit (he lifted weights everyday) when we met and got married, but then after getting pregnant, we both went down hill. He gained as much weight as I did when i was pregnant, and he blames me for not being as healthy as he used to be. So I started eating healthy about a month ago and he still wont change his eating habits. I tried to hint at first and he got upset. He says my way isn't always the right way (how could eating healthy not be right?). Anyway... I finally talked ot him about all of my concerns instead of hinting and he has gotten a little better. But he still eats junk in front of me. I never buy it, he does. And he even asks if I want to go out for ice cream!!! What to do.....

I can see your point. But I know for me as junk is not good I RARLY eat it. We just came home from doing a little grocery shopping. Needed food for dinner and stock up for drive in tomarrow night.
SO chips are a treat, But I bought the wasabi lays as I can only eat a little at a time. SO that will deter me from eating the bag. But because the cookies we on sale, hubby bought 4 boxes. They mgith last the month but WHO NEEDS 4 BOXES????
Hes all 140 (wet) and has stayed that way. all the men in his family do, and I HATE IT

| Well speaking from the husband side, I think it's my kids that eat all the junk food and I don't understand why my wife keeps buying it! If all we have is fruit or vegitables they snak on that and don't complain - I ask why she keeps buying the junk food - no answer, but if it's sitting around I eat it. . .

this is how it is for us too.
AS much as My husband is supportive on my weight loss (he sees nothing wrong, plus he does not want to boobs to go) He will do things ok, but eats JUNK. If he had his way our kitchen would be stocked with chocholate, coke and kraft dinner.
Then he will be good and get me something A bag of chips or nibs. Which I like the idea he thoguht of me as well, but I'd rather have flowers even a cheep $3 bouquet than eating chips and making my ass larger than it is

I think men are hopeless on eating right.
My husband is underweight and requires a special diet
because he is on dialysis.I have to cook almost 2 different meals becuase we cannot eat all of the same things.
That only works for dinner though.
He eats breakfast and lunch out and makes very bad choices. He will go to the store and buy things that are so bad for him. Some things he chooses could mean the difference between life and death, literally.
I have come to terms with the fact that he has free will and is going to do whatever he wants.
All we can do is love them, nagging just makes it worse.

When I met my hubby he was a bodybuilder really careful with what went into his body. Well, 5 kids and 26 years later my hubby no longer exercises or lifts weights and has had a poor diet for many years. He had a heart attack last year at 50.After all this he still will not eat properly! He did quit smoking, something he started 17 years ago. I am proud of him for that. I can't seem to get him to stop drinking gallons of pepsi and bags of lays potato chips! The kids and I have even found chocolate bars hidden outside or in the car. I make very healthy meals and walk daily but can't seem to get him on board. I worry about him all the time - that he will have another heart attack. The kids worry as well. He has always been a very big, fit man but now has quite a tummy on him! Any suggestions on what I can do?

I tried the forget to buy approach and it results in one of two outcomes.
A. we fight about it or B. he goes and buys it. There is no way to win
He did surprise me today and while we were waiting for the ball game to start we went for a walk.

| I have the opposite problem. I am overweight and my husband is underweight. What I normally do is set "his" foods on a different shelf. I know that I can eat them in moderation, but I keep "my" food in a different place and check that shelf first.

| If you are the one doing the grocery shopping, you can always "forget" to buy some of the junk food.

I always ask and get the same answer every day. One of these days he is going to shock me and say yes. Then I would be in shock.
I knew when I married him he did not do anything healthy, in fact neither did I. Just because I changed doesn't mean he has to. Just wish he would take some of the bad habits somewhere else. lol

It's the same story in every town apparently. Mine is the same. It's so hard to cook for your family and be on a diet. If you cook them what you are eating all you hear from the King is..."is that all we are having?" LOL
What can you do? They have to want to do it for "them". Hopefully they will all get out of their chairs and come on A WALK WITH US!!! :)

Hello:
I too have a husband (23 years) who is over weight but not much though he could stand to watch what he is eating. He likes his fried foods. He works his shift comes home and does some work but he goes through several beers and he is a smoker. He has no intention of changing his life style and I have tried to get him to walk with me or go to the gym and he is just not interested.
I too belong to TOPS and I am a 8 year KOPS. I came to the realization that I have to do this for me.
Hopefully it will rub off on him before it is too late.
HUGGS

| I understand exactly how you feel. I'm not married, but I've been with my current boyfriend for over 3 years. We live together right now, and we have before. His eating habits can be really troubling to me sometimes. For example, he eats a TON of red meat. I know it's not really BAD for you, but it can be really hard on your digestive system when you eat that much of it. He has acid reflux, and it's so severe that he gets heartburn to the point of throwing up. I think it might help if he cut back on all the meat, but he just REFUSES to do anything healthy.

| I joined a weight loss group called tops (www.tops.org) in the last 9 mos i have lost 38 lbs. I am very proud of myself but would like to loose a total of 55 or so! the problem is my husband could loose weight also i am guessing around 100 lbs. but he has NO intrest to try. i try everything i cook healthy meals and ask him to go for a walk wiht me and the kids and he says he walked all day at work so he is all set. he does play softball 2 times a week. for example last night i made a good supper and we both ate plenty and within 1.5 hrs he was eating oreo cookies (8 of them) a HUGE glass of milk! he also drink 2 2liter bottles of diet coke a day! then within 30 mins of that he was eating corn chips grrr i am starting to be very discouraged by this. i make lil comments but try to not be negative but i know sometimes i am! i showed him this site and showed him how much 8 oreo's are and all he said was WOW! i am afraid that when i get to my goal and the more energy i get if he wil be able to keep up! i am NOT gonna sit around and get over weight again!
