Every day this week, I do really well, but here's where the dilemma comes in. All advice says you can't expect your family to diet with you; it has to be for yourself, but there reaches a point where it feels like it's more than just doing it for yourself and making your own choices and feeling like someone else in the same house is actually pushing you to fail. I'm seeing a frustrating pattern here. I've already talked to the other person, but it's still happening. I could try to be stronger, but with the particular turn of events and the way it's been going down, it feels ten times harder than just making good choices for dinner.
And we skipped walking twice because of circumstances. I'm so glad I've been doing extra workouts almost every day so it's not a complete failure, but anyone who says that you can't expect the whole house to be on board is either single or doesn't have a spouse with worse habits than their own.
I agree - my spouse will say "I'll support", but then surprises me with cheeseburgers from Wendy's or popcorn during a movie. Argh! indeed!
