Frustrated with Hubby!

So my husband thinks that eggs for breakfast with a glass of milk, 2 sandwiches (whole wheat bread) with nothing but tuna with a glass of juice, and some form of nothing but lean meat for supper is super healthy.  I know it doesn't sound bad, but it's all he ever wants to eat when he diets and it is frustrating because now he's telling a guy in his unit at work to eat the same stuff.  I mean, no veggies, no fruits, no eating out, no soda, nothing else but that?  come on!  I eat 2000cal a day and work out for 30-60min a day on the treadmill and am losing weight just fine eating a well balanced diet.  What's worse is this guy believes everything my husband says and is almost worshipping him as a diet guru - he doesnt realize he's just going gain it all back once he starts eating like a normal person again :-/...  I gave the guy this site... maybe it will help him lol!  ---Oh and my husband also thinks eating goldfish all day or cheezits all day is also not bad... yea.

Doesn't sound like he is following his own advice if he is eating goldfish and cheezits all day. But then it's very difficult to take advice from anyone when it is something you don't want to hear, especially your mate. I don't want to take advice EVEN FROM MYSELF, otherwise why do I continue to eat things I know I shouldn't and otherwise engage in harmful behaviors I would do better without.

My advice would be do what you know is best for youself, making as little an issue of it as possible. Buy and prepare what you know is best, keeping comments about nutritional value and what you both should be eating to yourself. After all, action speaks louder than words and when he sees you achieve your goals while he is falling behind he MIGHT wake up.

This hasn't worked for me....I HAVEN"T followed my own advice. I'm forever telling my family what would be good for us all to eat, and they continue to eat just as they please, usually what I, myself, bought and brought home!

Try to focus on you.

It sounds like you're putting too much focus on your hubby. It's not contributing to your success in any way. All the built up frustration does is potentially hinder your relationship. It's just causing you to stress and freak out. Come on........ Neither of you will win anything from the madness.

 It's just drama based on the mundane for nothing. Stop the madness! This frustration can lead to a wedge between you. Let it go!  If you want to go eat out by all means go eat out. There's nothing stopping you from eating your veggies. There's nothing stopping you from having a balanced diet. Eat well. Eat badly. w/e That's your choice as an adult to do things within reason. Try reading healthy living books and leaving them around. YOU: On a Diet  By Michael F. Roizen, MD, and Mehmet C. Oz, MD. Since he's in the guru stage he may pick it up. He may read some of it and suddenly become a health Guru in training. Lol. Try that. There's different books/material you can leave around. It may encourage him to do things differently. You know.. To just help to guide him in the right direction in a nice way. ( Without frustration or force. ) That might help him get to where you're about making it a regular lifestyle change... rather than diet. My husband actually went with me to one of the live lectures by Dr.Oz. He was skeptical but went along with it for me. We had a great time and learnt so much.

I just think this should be nothing to a happy couple raising a family. I'm not saying you can't be frustrated/mad/ect. I'm just saying: Try not to let the small things come between you. You two are on the same team!

Try: Realage.com  ( It's awesome too.)

(btw, The friend- It sounds his ego is swollen from his friends admiration. I don't think it's permanently stuck that way. Lol! It's probably not going to last for a long time. However: I imagine it's doing wonders for his self esteem. I'd let him have that pedestal amongst his friends. It may be short-lived. )
