Hi /loseit! Just recently found this sub and I am excited! I am just going to start with my own weight loss background before diving into what I mainly want to talk about. I apologize for formatting since I am on mobile.
Me and my husband lost weight for our wedding last year and ended up gaining all of it back (moreso my husband than me). I think since the wedding has passed he has not had as much motivation to lose weight.
Now I am not overweight (153 @ 5'7), but I am in the higher end of my BMI and would like to be healthier in general. I struggle with weight mainly due to a sleep disorder and working off shifts. A lot of the time I am so tired I do not meal prep and can eat like garbage sometimes. I have been trying to get back on the wagon by counting calories, cutting out pop, and going to the gym when I have the energy.
My husband on the other hand is obese (210 @5'7). He wants to lose weight and is trying by using a recumbant bike on occasion, but he is struggling on the food side. If there is food at work he will eat it with no control. If we do go out to eat he will order the most unhealthy thing possible.
I have been trying to cook healthy at home and have no junk food in the house. I am not the best cook in the world but I try! My husband really is not into cooking unless it is one of a few dishes he can make. My issue with cooking is coming up with different healthy recipes that will keep him full. The same goes with filling healthy snacks ( I buy apples, clemintines, jerky, nuts, string cheese, yogurt, granola). A few hours after eating he is always hungry and looking for more food.
I know I cannot make him want to eat healthier / work out / lose weight if he doesn't want to. He won't talk to a dietician or try a weight loss program despite being unhappy with his weight. I love my husband very much and I am willing to take charge of what he eats if that is what it takes for him to get healthy...it is just exhausting to try and figure it all out on my own.
Any advice is appreciated! :) Have a great day everyone!
