He bought a scale and is weighing himself 3-4 times a day.

He is using an app that tells him he needs more vegetable (an app, really?!)

He is drinking water because soda has empty calories (another deja vu)

Carbs are the enemy (jeez)

Need I go on?

I would take him seriously if he made an actual effort and stuck to it. I'm not buying anything different, I'm not cooking anything different, nothing.

DH just started counting calories. He could not believe how many calories are in the food he is eating. He figured by the time he eats breakfast, lunch & dinner he cannot eat anything else. He said he guessed he would have to stop eating lunch so he could still drink his beer or whiskey with jerky or cashews every night. The other night he came home with a double pound cheeseburger with medium order of fries & I had the small burger with small fries. He said how many calories is in this. I said more then you think. We hardly ever eat out fast food so him eating that does not happen often. If it had not been so late I would have made burgers on the grill but he had to work late. We don't have a 5 Guys here. Have ate there twice different times when we were in Fl. They have some greasy burgers. Good Luck to you & your DH. Maybe he will really change. If you cook healthy that should help unless he's not eating your cooking.

Nightowl, I'm trying to undo the nutritional habits his mother instilled in him.

He will take one look at a meal I prepare and other drown it in ranch or butter or he will go out for fast food.

He was at his MD for a check up last year. He picked up a kid's pamphlet on healthy eating and had an epiphany: this is how my wife cooks! A month later; hot dogs every day.

That's why I'm not making any changes.

We have a Five Guys here. It's across from work. I haven't eaten there yet. One day, when I want to splurge!

Give him an 8"" salad plate and tell him he only gets one helping. LOL

Debc, we use the smaller plates. I have tried every trick barring locking the fridge.

I'm going to ride this out like I always do, and complain to you all.

He eats like an unsupervised 14 year old boy.
