UGH...Hubby...

I?m so annoyed now. Hubby knows how hard I?m trying to lose weight and he keeps eating and eating and eating in front of me constantly. He is already probably 25 pounds overweight himself and he said he's dieting too...lol.. If you call that a diet. I never say anything to him about it though....but...Last night we had some friends over to play euchre and this is my one weakness. We are all sitting around the table playing cards and I?m chugging on my water to keep me from eating the chips that are on the table. (I did have some salt free pretzels, after everyone tried some they slammed me for eating them and said they tasted like cardboard and asked me how I could even eat them!) Anyhow, my hubby finishes a huge bowl of Doritos, then eats 4 packs of fruit snacks, then more chips, then cooks popcorn, 4 regular Pepsi?s later and a couple games of cards I just had to quit playing! I said I was tired and wanted to go to bed.. But really I was just discussed with how much he was putting in his mouth and he ate all that an hour and a half after we had just had dinner! Anyhow I really don?t know why I?m writing this but I just had to get this out.

ya ....hkellick.. you are right this is the best dang site around! Im so happy I found it! Since stumbling on this site in Jan. I have lost almost 14 pounds now..!! ;-)

I totally see what you are saying, about being responsible for your OWN behavior, and really, only being able to change yourself, and I totally agree with that - personal responsibility, and all.

However, I have to back morningstarfire up on this a bit too - it's her husband, after all! And what he puts in his mouth COULD directly effect her - if say, he develops weight or diet-related illnesses, from diabetes, enemia, diverticulitis, sleep apnea, the list goes on and on! And, I think as a caring spouse, she probably wants him to live a long, healthy life!

Seeing someone consume that number of empty calories (sorry morningstarfire, and no offense to your hubby, as I don't know him personally) is similar, in my mind, to watching someone smoke an entire pack of cigarettes or drink half a case of beer in one setting - we all know that SIMPLY cannot be good for your body.

That's my two cents.
