I'm doing SW alongside hubby and at first it was really cool to have a diet buddy.The healthy competition at WI was a laugh and we are losing at almost exactly the same rate.To begin with he was so into it and was reading all the books,helping me menu plan etc.The agreement was that we planned the week ahead together,I did the cooking and he cleared away and washed up.I was/am 101% on plan.I measure out every teeny thing,make every meal he has,shop and prepare his lunches blah de blah.I've lost 12lbs and he's lost 11.5 in the past 3 weeks and we're both chuffed to bits.I even fill out his food diary for him because he hates his handwriting..
BUT we're now in week four and he's driving me mad.Stupid things like the ONE time he'll get his cereal he won't weigh it..he'll pour milk and guesstimate.He's got bored of meal planning so I sit for hours searching out recipes and shopping.When I ask him what he wants to eat he'll say whatever you cook,I'm enjoying it all.
The thing is..I don't even know if I'm right to be peeved..but it feels like I'm doing it all.Sure he is using his willpower and he has been great at refusing the chocs and donuts that are passed round his work every day..that's great.Guess I'm annoyed that I'm doing all the running around and planning and cooking and he's getting the benefit of the weight loss.God I sound so selfish!!! Just needed to rant I guess and totally prepared to be told to get over myself!
