Anyone have anyone in their family who thinks it's hilarious to play pranks?

My husband thinks its hilarious to talk about my favourite foods and comes over and makes mmmm noises when he's eating pizza and stuff.
He's usually fantastic but this is making me incredibly angry. We have three kids, the source of most of my weight, and all he did was enjoy himself in the making process. I had to carry them, give birth etc and am now left with the weight. I find it an absolute slap in the face that he would disrespect me by trying to make this difficult. It feels about as acceptable to me as laughing at a sick person or something. I'm so mad! If this was him, we would all be sick and tired of hearing how tough he's got it. Ahhhhhhhhh!

Hey Manda, sorry for not coming across your post sooner, I rarely check this section. Sorry to hear you're having a tough time with being teased and I can imagine how that would really hurt you. Perhaps the best thing to do would be to tell your husband how it makes you feel but rather than doing it in the moment he's teasing you with kids being around and you feeling angry, take a time when you're both relaxed and it's quiet in the house and just bring it up, really calmly, saying you just want to let him know that you need a lot of determination and hard work to be on this diet and you want to make it a success and that it would be helpful if he could not comment on food or do the things he does because it's really getting you down.
Do you think that might be a good idea? Making it a positive thing rather than a negative? To say, look I need your help in making this easier for me? Just a thought.

Thank you very much for replying. He's calmed it down a good bit now thank goodness. He's a strange one, he laughs things off a lot. The only time I really get through to him is when I go absolutely mental at him and then he panics a bit. I think he's got the message that if he doesn't want to wear his pizza he better quit he he he!

:giggle: hahaha! Maybe next time you have a shake you should go OTT with how delicious it is to be honest my OH doesn't rub it in my face but he does eat a lot of bad/delicious food around me which annoys me enough as he knows how hard the diet is!

They are so mean! I don't mind him eating round me as the three kids do it all day long so he is just another of the same. There's so much yummy stuff here, and wanting to be thin over wanting to eat it is really all that gets me through at times! The shakes are really yummy. I'm starting to really love them.

You're so motivated, it's brill I love banana shake cold with ice, I really could have that or a choc orange bar 3 times a day lol!

I thought I loved the bars but they make me feel a bit sick. I love a vanilla shake with some of the drinks mix in it, yum!

Ooh, will have to try that! X

Has anyone tried the mint choc shake? I found it horrible and lumpy even when I used a hand blender... I don't get it because using the hand blender gets rid of all the lumps!
