Hi everyone!
My DH an I went to the grocery store this morning for the first time since I've been working on losing weight. The last few days I've just been really watching my portion size and skipping on seconds and drinking more water than I used too. Never before had I actually taken a list into the grocery store with me. This time I had a list and it was loaded down with fruits and veggies, something neither me or DH have ever really had a second thought about.
I mananged to make it passed the cookie/chips/junk food aisles. DH didn't. He's always got a craving for something down one of those aisles. So on top of the list I had written out, we ended up coming home with his junk food which seems to be more than we've EVER bought before. I call it his, because I haven't touched it while he was ripping the chip bag open before we were out of the parking lot. I even made him put it in the pantry himself.
Now for what I've been wondering all day. If this happens to you, how do you/did you manage to stay away from it when still working to change your eating habits? Also, has any of your DHs joined you in exercising and eating healthier? My DH supports the fact that I want to lose weight and eat healthier. He refuses to even try anything he considers "rabbit food." Now he's saying that on top of everything else I do around here, that I'll also be cooking 2 different meals at night!
Anyone have advice?
Thanks
Terri

It felt GREAT! He just got home from work a few minutes ago and didn't even ask what I had made for dinner. He just went straight for my leftovers! The only thing I could think was "Dang, boy learns fast!"

I'd be sweetly asking that husband for a hefty life insurance policy on him, telling him that the odds of him dying before you are pretty good, and you would like to live in your newly thin body without having to worry about cash. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! :o) Kristi <><

Oh my gosh, I thought I'd die with glee after reading your post. I was picturing your husband standing there with that look on his face and holding burnt hot pockets. Oh my gosh, that's precious, it truly is! :o) Kristi <><
