I got home last night, really chuffed that I'd lost 9lb in my first week, and he said 'Well you will have, you haven't eaten for a week.'
I asked him what he would be if he couldn't be a wet blanket. He said he thought I was stupid, dieting like this and that I'll just pile it all back on the minute I start eating again. I tried to tell him in a nutshell that I wanted a kick start, and he said it was a cheat start I was getting.
Why do men have to be like this? My sister was thrilled for me, I knew misery guts would have something to say but I expected it to be 'Where have you lost the weight from, you don't look any different'.
Thank goodness for you guys is all I can say.

Well done on your 9lb off:happy096:
The only way to make a believer of him is to show him that you can keep it off...refeeding is so important when you come off a diet like this as if you don't refeed you can overfill the glycogen stores...so while he has some bits right he does not have them all.
This kind of diet is not for the faint hearted as it is a tough diet and so many try it and fail in the first day.
You have a whole week behind you now and 9lb off to show for it.
The only way to cheat on this diet is to nibble and then you are only cheating yourself and no one else.
It can take partners time to get their head around this kind of diet as I think really they do feel a bit guilty for eating in front of you and this make them feel uncomfortable and they can then transfer this unto you.
I know my husband was a little like this at times
Did not always say the right thing or do the right thing diet wise.He is very supportive now...bit like he got a brain transplant
So when your partner says something nice or positive like asking do you mind...tell him it is nice he is thoughtful and you appreciate it, this way your response lets him know he is on the right track...
This is your journey for you.
Hang in there!
