My wife and I can't be successful at losing weight because I find a way to sabotage it every week. My intentions on Monday always start out great but by Friday I just want to eat pizza and stay indoors. My food addiction is affecting my wife and that's not fair to her. Now, yes she can easily say no and not eat the bad food, so she has some responsibility and accountability, but let's be honest, if there is a piping hot pepperoni pizza being delivered, would you get up and fix an ice cold salad with slightly wilted romaine.
Here's where I think we will find success as a couple. Cooking together. I love cooking. But I don't love cooking and washing dishes after I've cooked. I'm not even kidding when I say I will not cook for days just to avoid washing dishes. I think if cooking didn't feel like this daunting task that only I was taking a part of I might not be so against it these days.
Not to say my baby doesn't cook lol...or offer to cook. There's just never enough time in the day.
I wanna be the good wife. I want to pack healthy lunches and not take the easy way out for dinner. I've seen people do it. I don't know where the hell they find the time and energy but I know it's possible. I bet if we canceled our cable we'd find time :-/
