[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 567530, member: 1233"] I know that his eating habits are unhealthy. Even the veggies he eats that are supposed to be high in nutrients dont' end up that way. He boils the koi out of them. I haven't boiled a veggie in thirty or more years. I like corn and green beans hot. Carrots are either raw or hot and sweet (cooked wth brown sugar - which is why I don't cook them). Most veggies I prefer raw. I have no clue why husband thinks frozen veggies have to be boiled. I haven't put them on the stove in longer than I have known husband. Microwaving them preserves nutrients. I also don't add all the oil. He thinks that since extra virgin olive oil is supposed to be health, then using more means being healthier. He knows better and is choosing this delusion to be his truth. I cannot control his eating. He likes to skip breakfast, have a protein bar at most for lunch and then come home and eat about three thousand calories. He alone goes through at least 3 pounds of tortilla chips a month. when I started getting them at Sams it was like getting a pay raise. Instead of paying three bucks a pound we are paying seven bucks for six pounds. If we run out he goes and buys them and buys the brand he likes, which is expensive. More than once he has blown a budget by going out to get more cheese or chips because we ran out. I only buy cheese at Sam's, and only buy chips there too. But if he hasn't eaten all day, he feels 'entitled'. He KNOWs that this is the way to stay overweight. And that it IS going to cause problems. He just doesn't care. He is bizarre in his food beliefs. I know when I eat something unhealthy that it is unhealthy. I don't lie to myself and say that I am eating it with olive oil or coconut oil or salsa or brussels sprouts so that makes it healthy. It doesn't. He thinks my ice cream is WAY worse than his chips. it owuld be if I ate the same amount. But usually? I buy pints for myself - Ben and Jerry's or Haagen Daz, the fancier stuff. A pint often lasts me more than a month. If I buy a half gallon, the kids eat it all. Even if it is clearly marked as MINE, Jessie eats it all. Sometimes before I get even a spoonful. So I buy the expensive stuff and eat maybe 2 spoonfuls at a time as a serving. I have done this for years. If husband has ice cream, half a gallon is three servings at most.
