My husband was 260 last summer and held steady there for a good five years. He's always been heavier than me. I was 240 at my highest.

Last fall he stopped eating Breakfast and lunch for four days a week. He's lost 65 lbs doing this and until i got surgery, he weighed less than me.

He eats a massive dinner and Snacks on **** all night long. He loses about 2 lbs a week. Why? I know men lose faster and I know I don't want to pack all the unhealthy foods he eats into MY body. But it still upsets me. I'm working hard (and actually quite enjoying the ride bit still) and its slow going.

It upsets me because it doesn't seem fair. I got my fat ass on a plane and flew to Cali. I jumped the border. I hauled my 234 lb naked simply butt (under the gown) onto an operating table. I'm the one with 20% of a stomach left. I got three blood clots, was in the hospital and am now on blood thinners. I'm working out 6 days a week at least.

He eats huge bowls of ice cream that take him an hour to finish. And then goes back for more. 0.o. I just looked and he has EIGHT empty mother freaking assorted snack packages beside him. And this man is losing faster than me?

Wtf?

...........…………..............

Also. And I know this is terrible and I should see a psychiatrist, but. It's a HUGE turn off. "/

Ok, shoot me.

I used to eat like this. How disgusting I must have looked shoveling package after package of addicting, fake food into my pie hole.

Sigh

Be my psychiatrist? I've started a post like this several times and every time I tell myself not to post And I delete it. But I need someone to talk to. I probably look really shallow. And my feelings are triple intensified by an incident I just had with my daughter and PMS.

My fiance eats junk and stays skinny....he has always been thin though. I'm not upset about this though, I dont see it as a competition, I want us both the be able to grow old together. If something like that ticked me off then id be upset every time I saw anyone eat because a lot of people eat more than me, and I am still pre op

This whole thread is hilarious! My hubby and I did Weight Watchers together about 10 years ago. he lost 40lbs and I lost 5lbs! I was PISSED!!!! But there is a larger issue here when it come's health. As annoying as our beloved's eating habits, chewing of chips, slurping of ice cream, attempts at sabotage and their propensity to lose wright more easily may be, the continual bad food choices could eventually lead to serious health problems for them. As much as they irritate us we still want them to be healthy and be with us for many years, don't we? Even the skinny guys can have heart attacks. A lot of it is genetic but food choices and exercise can really help control the type 2 diabetes. So maybe talking to him about your concerns for his health and also telling him frankly but gently that you find the junk-food consumption and surrounding debris field disgusting and a big turn-off will get him thinking more about his choices and behavior. After all if you ate in that manner he would probably feel the same way.
