My husband and I are in our fifties. Our kids
are grown and out of the house. My husband is very thin and can
eat whatever he likes without gaining weight. I, on the other
hand, am a bit overweight. In order for me to diet, I can't have
junk food in the house. But he loves chocolate and potato chips
(my two downfalls) and always brings them home. I feel like he
is trying to undermine my diet. I'll be really good until late
at night, when I'll find a package of chips in the cupboard. Or
there'll be Godiva chocolates on top of the fridge. If he didn't
bring it home, I wouldn't fall prey to temptation. When I tell
him to stop bringing junk into the house, he says that it's his
house too and he wants to enjoy his food.
What can I do to make him realize how hard it
is for me to have treats in the house? I feel that he is being
inconsiderate. At the same time, I don't want to deny him his
pleasures.
