Family Eatings

[_Flower_]

What do you do?
I'm sat here trying not to breathe through my nose while husband sits there and scoffs chips and chicken nuggets I can't say i'm hungry but oh my god I WANT IT!
I've planned about 4 ways to distract him and steal them!

My OH is the same he's just made me order a dominos pizza for him...

I would have ordered all the toppings he hated!

It's better if there is some support from partners to make it more achieveable for you - while they are eating, take yourself off and have a bath or shower, give yourself a beauty treatment, make a phone call or spend an hour in bed with a good book -anything to take yourself out of the situation. You don't have to sit and watch everyone else eat.
And make him phone for his own pizza!

hi ya
im oj day 3 of this diet and im still feeling total focussed, however hubby for the last 2 nights has decided to treat himself to a full english for tea - and when i say ful english i mean beans, sausage, fried bried eggs and bacon basically a heart attack on a plate lol
in some ways it has helped me because ive used it as willpower and i look at what hes eating and turn my thoughts into a postive by thinking yes that would be lush to eat all that but how am i gonna feel afterwards? would the feeling that ive let myself down after outweigh how i felt when i was eating it? if the answers yes then that has just made you that little biot stronger and that little bit more focussed
:-D

Thankfully I still live alone for another 6 months! If this wasn't the case this would not be possible for me That's why I'm more determined than ever before. I do keep a box of my favourite chocolates on the kitchen table. It's still in the wrapping and everything. Also I go eat lunch at work with my co-worker who always takes the most delicious stuff. Maybe in a way I'm a masochist but I find it super helpful and I feel proud of myself after denying the goodness! I know if I gave in I'd hate myself two minutes after (I have dreams of eating stuff and then wollowing in selfpity for the rest of the dream XD).

It is so hard, I have 4 kids and hubby and I cook for everyone all the time! Plus my business means I have a commercial kitchen at home too and when we have an event on it is so hard to resist! But last weigh in showed 26lbs off in 5 weeks!

We can all do this! xx

My partner sat there yesterday night and ate a packet of cheese straws and about five chocolate biscuits. And he asked me, 'do you want any?'!!!

I focused on remembering that if I ate any of that, even half a cheese straw or a bite of a biscuit, I'd mess up ketosis, which would make me feel hungry and rough for the next few days. I also told him that offering foods I can't have really isn't that helpful, which he did understand.

I must be a complete weirdo...... ever since i started, i have become obsessed with cooking. My husband and son have both had a fantastic cooked dinner every evening so far cooked by me and i have sat with my bottle of water and watched them eat it whic im kind of enjoying??? (admittedly im only on day 9 SS!!!) Im actually cooking more now than i used to before i started. I have cooked dinner this evening and i cannot remember the last time i cooked on a Saturday night. Its normally a huge calorific takeaway or we eat out.
Hopefully when i eventually allow myself food again i will continue to feel the way i do now and actually enjoy cooking healthy nutritious meals.

LOL, the feeding others thing is quite a common phenomenon. I sometimes wonder if my sub-conscious is working on fattening everyone else up so that once I'm thin, I'll feel really thin.

loool i thought it was just me suddenly cooking all the time. Trying new recipes and everything. I think it helps me pass the time and gain the control over food.

[afnielives]

Oh my GOD! I seriously thought I was so weird for wanting to cook, but I've been reading recipes and I offered to cook for my parents pretty much all week! Hahahaha so glad it's not just me!

[Jelliebabe]

Ooooooh I'm obsessed with cookery programmes - My Hubby thinks I'm weird!

[afnielives]

Guess it's pretty normal behaviour on this diet!

[Betty]
