GOOD LUCK !

Villette,
I know what you mean. He does do some of the shopping, But i guess he just doesnt care anymore. Hes 5'6 at 213. Its all in his belly.

I hate having to fix his food one way then fix mine another.. If i fix a good healthy meal he will eat it, then 1/2 later hes into snaking. He doesnt know how to limit, hell eat it until its gone.

But i'll take my food in the other room to " right in front of my computer lol"

Kepp up the good work Vill... hopfully this will get easier.

Hmmmm.....so you ARE cooking healthy and he IS eating healthy but then snaking on junk.

My question would be "Who's buying the wrong food to snack on?"

Well I hear what your saying, but if he goes he will come home with all this junk. And im not talking about a small amount. its close to 40/50 $ of junk.

How do you tell your husband NO!

Hmmmmm... can you "accidently on purpose" take the checkbook with you? lol

Does he really not care? I hope he does care and wants to live to get to an old age.

I think he just needs to really "get serious" with this healthy eating. He can control his diabetes IF he eats accordingly.

Did both of you go through the diabetic class at your local hospita? If not, call the dietician and see if they have a class to attend.

Okay so my weight is pretty much staying the same..but i'm wondering if me losing 40 pounds over the last 7 months had anything to do with it?

Hi! Go back a few posts and there are a couple posts about "plateauing". That should help you.

[Muffie's Mom]

I'm going to "be in the background" for awhile in the "Lifestyle Changes" thread.

I have posted just about everything that comes to my mind so if there is anything that anyone needs information on, please post on the thread and I can research it for everyone.

I am thoroughly enjoying helping everyone. I've been able to reach so many people and it really touches my heart to see so many people want to do the "right" thing! That's wonderful. We'll never know if we might have saved someone's life!

Please keep up the good work, keep exercising and keep eating healthy.

If I don't answer immediately, you'll know that I'm "walking to nowhere" on the treadmill again!

Good luck and God bless you all.

How very sweet - you touched my heart.

I'm not going anywhere - I just won't be posting so much as I have been.

I think I've temporarily ran out of thoughts of things to post! lol



I'll be right here - you haven't gotten rid of me yet!! haha

God bless you all.

Hi, everyone! I asked all of you to tell me what you were all doing to challenge yourselves to eat in a Healthy manner this week, and most of you responded, THANKS! I thought you would all benefit by seeing what your Healthy Eating Partners are doing!! The names have been deleted to protect the innocent!

You are all doing really really well!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!

Drink MORE water. I seem to always forget that.
I am also going to start going at least 3times to the gym.
************************************************** ********
My challenge for this week is to get out and walk...whether it's only one night or everynight, anything would be more than I'm doing now.
************************************************** ********
Ya know..I have added fruit and whole grains to my diet..and i just don't seem to be losing anything!!! I even added A few veggies...I've never ate fruit or veggies..so i figured they'd be really good for me!! I also have tried to stay away from anything fried!
************************************************** ********
Well I gave up my pasta and French fries with cheese, and I’m going to try and exercise more, been slacking on that. been so busy with the wedding coming up it’s really getting hard. I did buy a bunch of healthy choose frozen dinners.
************************************************** ********
Friday was my oldest daughters 15 birthday and she wanted a tres leche cake,,,,,,, oh yeah. Well, I did very good. I had a tiny tiny taste. And I was ok with that. But I sure was put to the test on Sunday,,,,,, We had a packed house so needless to say, we had the works here,,,,,, tri tip, ham, mac/salad, shrimp pasta. baked beans, rice rolls,,,,,,,, oh man we sure did over due it with the cooking! But I did very well. And I totally made sure everyone packed a to go plate. I did NOT want any left overs sitting in the frig!
************************************************** *******
my challange for the week is to cut down the powdered creamer in my coffee by HALF.
************************************************** ********
Im just trying to keep my mind focused
on the fat content, and drinking water, water, water.
************************************************** ********
exercise….no soda’s this week.
************************************************** ********
I lowered the amount of my portions and been eating salads all week for lunch

[Muffie's Mom]

This is all wonderful. I hope everyone keeps up the good work. I'm proud of you! When I said that I was going to be in the background, didn't mean I wasn't eating HEALTHY and I AM STILL reading the thread. I hope that everyone sticks with this and continues doing such a great job. Don't forget to watch those portions, drink LOTS of water and EXERCISE!
