Sabatoge

Yum said: "Yes, of course. They ARE sabotaging it, but I don't think they are trying to. I find it best just not to have something in the house if it's something you shouldn't eat. Ask them if they want to make a lower fat version of x with you at home. I just did that with lemon bars....mmmm."

Henrietta said: "Working together has to help. Anytime you can encourage your spouse to make decisions, its a good thing."

Henrietta said: "Good thing, too... because cheaters never win on a diet!"

Heather said: "I know what you are saying. I don't think that they really do it to sabotage you. If in the past you have freely indulged with them, they might not be aware that this is no longer what you want. If they continue to do it, it is one of those "willpower" things. You have to have the strength not to eat it just because it is there.."

Heather said: "Does your family need to lose weight as well? If so, maybe you could get them on the same page as you. If no one there is allowed cookies, it is a way to keep them out of the house.."

Heather said: "[QUOTE=UniqueMystique]Sometimes sabotage can be a good thing. ;) Depends on who's doing it. A few evenings ago....we went out to dinner. My husband wanted to go to a place and have 'nachos'. I went. He asked which 'nachos' it was that were my favorite. I told him. When the waiter came......I ordered something completely healthy. He gave me a dirty look and ordered the same thing I did. He really wanted the nachos but said that I made him feel guilty by not ordering them too. :cool:[/QUOTE] Nice way to sabotage your hubbies plan :) Keeping each other in check is a never bad idea. If it is important enough to you to lose the weight, passing on nachos isn't the end of the world."

Darren said: "You just have to adopt a "warrior mentality" in your battle with weight. Sometimes if you tell certain people you're dieting, they will go out of their way to derail you. So with them, fake them out. If you let negative people get involved with your dieting attempt, it's likely they'll find a way to derail it. You're better off having people ask you if you lost weight, rather than announcing a plan."

UniqueMystique said: "Yeah...it was cool cuz I didn't even have to say anything to him...just ordered what I wanted and he decided not to cheat."

spectrachic311 said: "Oh man, yes...I know the situation too well. My mother-in-law-to-be has absolutely no concept of "healthy eating" and every time I go over to her house she cooks all sorts of heavy casseroles (one of which consists of noodles, salad dressing, cheese, and corned beef...all mixed in with some sauerkraut...ew) and rarely has fresh vegetables. And she ALWAYS makes dessert. And the thing is, I can't just say "no thanks" because she would take it all the wrong way. My fiance sometimes doesn't help either, he always asks if I want dessert or if I want some chips, etc. I have a hard time limiting my intake of sweet stuff, so I try to cut it almost completely out of my diet. If the problem is at your own house though, I suggest you maybe take over the grocery shopping for a while. You'll probably save a bit of money in the process and you can try new, healthy foods that your family may love!"

iowamomma2002 said: "LOL I know exactly what u mean. When we go to my moms house she has everything u can think off, ice cream bars, chips, cookie, muffins. lol treats for the grandkids and i want them soooo bad lol i won't lie sometimes i cheat but unfortunately its only me that suffers and my parents say they are not dieting if i choose to great, but they life how they life lol the salad is in the fridge :rolleyes:"

Razor said: "YUM! Snickers in the freezer! I put all my chocolate in the freezer when I ate it all the time."

theirmom said: "Does any one ever feel that the people they live with are trying to sabatoge their eating and excersice habits? (i.e..bringing ice cream home, bringing cookies home..) :confused:"

theirmom said: "I honestly do not think they are trying to ruin my eating habits..but I am one of those people if it is here I will eat it.but I am trying to work it in to my eating habits so I do not feel guilty if I have one serving...If I have enough calories to give me 150 per 1/2 cup then I will have 1/2 cup but it is hard not to eat 3 servings like I would have before!!! WILLPOWER, It so HARD!! :p"

cyn said: "I know what you mean about willpower. For me mini snickers were my passion but the idea of eating just one or two seems rediculous! I cant do it--I am better off giving them up all together than trying to limit my intake. I can go cold turkey without problems but if I know they are in the freezer-I WANT THEM!!"

lotusleaf said: "sometimes partners do sabotage, and that usually stems from their own insecurity that they will lose you to someone else after you lose weight. Perhaps talking to your partner about this might help, and reassure everyone you intend you be around after you lose weight, but that bringing home naughyt but nice food items isnt helping and you really need their support :)"

bound_inamorata said: "I know what you mean. Just tonight I told my husband to stop bringing home chips, cookies, candy, etc. for me, just to have him bring home a Hershey's double chocolate candy bar 2 hours later. I do believe it's sabotage, but unintentional. In my case, my hubby needs to lose quite a bit of weight himself, and I'm sure his actions stem from fear. Fear of losing me if I lose weight and maybe of not having so much in common. I've read about it in articles over the years. I don't hold it against him, though. But here it is another two hours after the candy has come into the house and I can hear it calling my name...to the back of the freezer it goes! Company can have it another day. Day one down and one speed bump avoided!"
