I've gone through many diets, and he used to try a few with me, but now, I can't blame him, he says he doesn't wanna even THINK about trying another diet. But I told him I'm for real and this is more of just eating healthy and a new eating lifestyle, but he still doesn't want to. I just HATE cooking for myself, and then try to be a good girlfriend and cook for him sometimes! What should I do??? Thanks all!

Hey collegechick!

Just keep yourself strong and follow through on the diet. I live in a house where my husband and three yr. old eat what they like when they like. I make two sometimes three different types of meals. Normally what I'll do is take one day to do cooking for the week. And I'll make stuff like baked chicken and steak and occasionally something I probably shouldn't even eat like Hamburger. Then I make some sides like rice, and augratin potatoes, parmesan noodles. Then the veggies. I eat the meat and veggies. My husband eats all of it. And my daughter tends to stick to the sides and veggies. It takes work to plan it that way, but all in all it's worth it. Once he sees the weight you lose, he'll be more apt to want to try to convert also.

Good Luck,

Rachel
