They say that couples... - Page 3

We all eat about the same in my house. We laugh when we go out to eat, we all get almost the exact same thing. We went out for BBQ the other day, and all 4 of us had the exact same thing!!

Course the kids weight hasn't been an issue, but DH and I have both battled it...me more than him for sure!

Not at all! DH eats candy, doritos and pepsi. I feed him very well at home, but he likes meat and gravy, I like salads. We are polar opposites, we can't even share an appetizer!! Our dining out and pizza bills are so much more expensive than they need to be, but neither one of us is willing to eat what the other likes.

I am just now seeing this!

We are an interesting study in eating habits in married couples. He could eat a whole pizza and a case of beer and wake up tommorrow 5 pounds lighter. I eat the first slice of pizza and I gain 10lbs. Being with him, I have had an even harder time with my weight (a life long issue for me on more than 1 level

) because I see him eat so much junk I convince myself that 1 bite will not hurt. I have picked up his eating habits some and my weight shows it.

DH is the only skinny guy I have ever dated and among a very small handful of ones I have ever even found attractive. This is not the reason I like big men, but it never hurt that I looked smaller standing next to them, lol! I understand what the OP was saying though!

DH & I are polar opposites. I love my veggies and eat tons of them and basically like every vegetable there is. DH is partial to just 5 vegetables: broccoli, corn, cauliflower, potatoes and green beans. I like a wider variety, like eggplant asparagus, etc...you get the gist.

He is also a sugar fiend and while I do like a treat now and then, I don't have to have it every day like he does.

He is super skinny and struggles to keep weight on, and I on the other hand struggle to eat right and maintain my figure! Men - humph!
