Willpower when your partner doesn't eat the same thing

30F | SW 315 | CW 285 | GW 145 | 30lbs lost

Hi all! I am (very slowly) losing weight trying to get below the BMI threshold for a breast reduction. I wanted to ask how y'all keep control of yourself if your partner is not on a weight loss journey and tends to enable unwanted habits - she is a major sweet tooth and does most of our grocery shopping since I work three jobs and she is on medical leave. There is always some kind of cookie, candy, sugary juice, etc in our home from her grocery trips, or a tendency for the meals she plans to be extremely oily, fatty, cheesy etc. She is recovering from lifelong disordered eating, so I don't want to ask her to stop eating things that are part of her healing process with food, I just want to learn better personal boundaries and gain willpower to say no or do something different when she offers/makes food that I know contributes negatively to my goals.

Do you have any advice about how to maintain your food goals and avoid sweets when they're omnipresent, or how to delicately have a conversation with a partner whose background includes disordered eating about your boundaries with food? I'm concerned about triggering my partner in an attempt to stick more effectively to goals.

TIA!
