Yes, let him get on with it! You can’t tell people if they don’t want to listen. Concentrate on getting your own healthy fit body and when he realises how much energy you have, how good you look, how happy you are and he feels like crap THEN you can tell him and he may listen if he feels he is being left behind. Sorry but you have your life and he has his life and even though you are married, it doesn’t mean that he has to hold you back or vice versa. He is not a child we are all aware of the dangers of being obese and don’t bang your head against a brick wall. If he doesn’t appreciate your cooking that is his problem not yours. This worked with me and my hubby last year decided to join the gym, cut down on his beer and curries/takaways because he saw how I was taking care of my body. Until then he wouldn’t llisten to my ‘nagging’. He has even cut down on his puddings and dairy and eats more fruit and veg!
Morning luv x Have you explained how you have battled with your weight and the health benefits when you lost weight. Also how it changed your mind state and relationship to food. Do you do the food shopping ? If you do then don't buy any snacks. Me and paul find if it isn't in the house you can't eat it. Doesn't help alice's transport assistant buying her chocolates every week and she don't eat it lol Also try going out for a walk after tea. That's what I do with the dog. Can't eat then xxx ali
If you have no children it is easy not to buy the rubbish, much harder with kids cos they like their crisps and biscuits etc. In my house we don’t buy them full stop. Once a week when we go shopping we have one treat like a fresh cream cake each or something like a tiramisu or whatever and that is it. Occasionally if I buy a paper I get a small bar of chocolate etc but when they are in the house you will eat them it is as simple as that. My hubby although not as unhealthy as he was still allows himself more treats than me –but he is under strict instruction to eat it when I am not around and he is happy to do it. He once got some ferero roche from his auntie for Christmas and he gave me 2 and I made him hide the rest in the boot of his car so I could not get to them. Temptation needs to be taken away as much as possible. I would also use female tactics on him. Like letting him see how active and fit you have become. My hubby used to try and entice me with puddings when eating out etc and I told him he could have one if he wanted. He eventually started to feel guilty and crap afterwards and saw how active I was becoming and now only has an occasional pudding when eating out and has cut down on his enormous main courses because he used to complain about feeling lethargic and eventually the penny dropped about eating crap and cutting down on portions. He had to see it for himself though. You can take a horse to the well but you cannot make him drink until he is thirsty!
