Need to vent or somethings gonna give  i asked my husband again yesterday, after seeing him use my 647 bread, to please not use the wraps or bread that say “low”, “smart”, carb” or “fat” (gotta make things as simple as possible) . there’s regular of both so it’s not like he doesn’t have anything. I went into the kitchen to make myself chicken fajitas and there is 1 mission smart carb tortilla left!?! There were 4 yesterday when I checked before suiting up and spending 2 hours in a suffocating mask to go to the food store. I am so damn angry right now!

Stop buying his regular stuff and buy twice as much of your stuff. It'll be healthier for him and less stressful for you.

We’re both eating the same thing here I just buy a lot of it so that there’s plenty. Our grocery bill got too crazy buying two kinds of so many different products such as fat free or reduced fat cheese and regular so that’s kind of what we did and my husbands also lost weight and improved his A1 C as a result of four months of being mostly on weight watchers for him ha ha
by (2.8k points)
@buddhi4 I definitely do that with most stuff, but there are definitely a few things that just don’t seem to go on sale like the regular products do and we’re on a budget. if he was doing it because he was trying to eat better I’d be totally ok with that lol but he literally doesn’t care what he eats, he just doesn’t think about it and the lack of respect is getting to me I guess ‍♀️
by (48.9k points)
@zitella7 I understand I really do. My husband does most of our grocery shopping. I have to be very specific. The thing that irks me is when he comes home with a really fatty meats because they’re cheaper. I’ll end up in my car going to the grocery store to get leaner meats. So I understand I think we all have our little quirks and some days we just don’t feel like dealing with them I guess. Walmart sells extreme wellness wraps they’re really good there one point each and they’re quite affordable. Whenever we go to Walmart will get 10 or 12 packages and put them in the freezer.

Just buy these ones for your family. It is healthier for them. I don't agree with family members not being able to have something or not being able to bring certain foods into the house.  
by (2.8k points)
@metropolis214 too expensive. if he was eating them to be healthier it would not be an issue at all, but bread is bread to him, he doesn’t care what he eats. There are very few things in the house that are “mine”. it’s more an issue of putting no thought into something that has an effect on someone else

Stop buying the regular food if he's gonna eat yours and buy more of what you eat since he will be eating it too. Problem solved. I had the same problem with my boys eating all my food so I have gave in and just started buying more but it wasn't that big of a deal to me.

Just buy double of what you want and don't buy separately for him. If he eats your things, it won't be bothering you as you are buying it for both of you. It might do him some good to eat the lower carbs etc that you are eating.  
by (3.7k points)
That's my feeling, too. My DH is trying to eat low carb, but he does it in sometimes dysfunctional ways. I did get super annoyed at him, though, when he complained about the very-thin sliced cheese for me when there was regular sliced cheese in the refrigerator -- he just didn't want to look for it. I told him it wasn't for him.

@attire10 he’s not eating it because it is healthier. Believe me, if that were the case it would be a non issue, so if by “silly” you mean I got upset because he wasn’t being considerate or respectful of me, then yes, put me down in the book as being silly ‍♀️

The problem is that @zitella7 NEEDS the bread, tortillas, whatever to be successful at her weight loss. When you go to make a sandwich expecting it to be 3 points and all of the 1 point bread is gone from someone else eating it, it makes you mad.

I now only buy my bread and tortillas - just double. My husband and son were eating them anyway so why buy two kinds!? And why wouldn't I want them to eat as I have been, since it is healthier!? So, now, I just buy enough of "my stuff" to feed them, too. If they want something different, they can go buy it themselves (which they rarely do! ) And it has the added benefit of having nothing to tempt me in the house!

@hepatica1 first, he literally doesn’t care what he eats nor does he need to loose weight, secondly he’s never once said or done anything to “show support” and third, I only have a very few things that I try and buy for myself because we’re on a budget and they’re never on sale like regular stuff. but hey, thanks for the support when a person is already feeling like shit. much love to ya
by (220 points)
@hepatica1 you missed the point. If she specifically asked him not to eat it and he does anyway, that is disrespect. I suggest putting stuff her items in a completely different area. If he continues eating them, he is trying to sabotage her and that is a bigger problem.

Believe me, if my husband was trying to eat better or healthier it would be a non-issue, if we weren’t on a budget like so many of us are right now, it would be even less of one. but this is coming from a place of inconsideration and disrespect. I reached out as a form frustration thinking that the WW community would be understanding and I was wrong. Lesson learned
