O/T Partner Dieting

thinkthrice's picture

How do you get your partner to go on a diet with you?  Chef knows he is getting overweight and it is effecting his energy level as well as giving him joint pain.  He has a very physical job and if it werent for that, he'd be twice the size he is now.   

I had GERD so I went on essentially a Paleo/Keto diet and lost over 30 lbs.  Chef never said a thing about it.   Instead he keeps bringing home pizza and pies.  I'm not at my goal weight yet but I cant help feel Chef is trying to sabotage my efforts.  I have a rather sedentary job as a sys admin.  I've also started a piyo class.

My dear husband sabotages me all the time. He knows I’m trying to lose another 20 pounds or so and will complain if I hit my stride in cooking healthy dinners too frequently. He’s the type that thinks a “good” dinner is meat, starch and a carb. I tried the keto diet and got to day four before he was so hangry and mean I gave up. Now I just worry about myself to save us both the misery.

is a giant steak with oil and garlic pasta.  He likes vegetables but he likes breads, pasta, potatoes and sweets even more!  He also likes rice.  I love rice.
