Hubby is joining me at WW. HELP!

[Guest guest]

Hi Gang!

Well, my hubby looked at me last night and asked if I minded if he joined me at

WW meetings (again). I tried not to look too terrified and said in my most calm

and loving voice " Of course I wouldn't mind, dear. I think it's great that you

want to try it again (gulp!) "

If you're wondering why this does not thrill me, we joined together in Feb of

2000. We did well the first week. Then he started complaining about being

hungry all the time and started upping his portion size rationalizing it by

saying it was less than he used to eat. He still lost OK. Seeing this, it

started influencing my portion control. I however didn't lose as well. Then,

he started adding in foods that are not conducive to weight loss (pizza, buffalo

wings, Quarter Pounders, etc) in the quantities he wanted to consume. I tried

to be strong, but he was always saying " It won't matter, just this once! " After

months of ups and downs on the scale, we left WW and decided it wasn't the right

program for us. I believe that we were not right for the program! I know I

should not let anyone influence my food choices but it was too easy to have

someone else to blame.

OK.......Long story short (too late I know!) I was wondering if anyone had any

tips to help my hubby be successful this time. He likes meat-n-potatoes and not

too many veggies or fruits. I know I can stay on track as I am extremely

motivated this time but, how do I encourage this wonderful man to keep an eye on

portions as well as eating the right foods without sounding like a nag? Any

good recipes for veggies that he might like?

Thanks!
