Responsibility.

Danger ahead! This is the most successful I have ever been on an eating plan and I attribute that in no small part to my sweetheart getting on board wholeheartedly, he has supported me so well, and I felt like he was my biggest champion. For a long while he bought nothing 'bad' into our home (chips,cookies, chocolate etc), and whilst he never really did an intensive phase 1 like me, he pretty much ate the same stuff as I did in the evening, additionally he still consumed toast, jam, Cheerios, but luckily none of these were trigger foods for me , he never stopped drinking entirely but he certainly cut back and he lost 10 pounds too and he looks really great as he didn't actually have that much to lose, however for the last few weeks he has been sneaking things back into the house all with the defensive posture of 'these things aren't for you' which is code for 'have a little will-power, weakling!'...I find this so disheartening, and really scary as I am not at the stage where I can just RESIST everything if I was I would surround myself with this stuff, I wouldn't have bannned sugar entirely from my life, I would practise the eternal 'moderation is key' refrain most people spout at me, I would weigh 100 pounds for @##@#$' sake! After I have had dinner or lunch there isn't usually much worry as I feel full, but in vulnerable moments like when I am tired, lonely, hungry, angry or bored having those things in my house is just a train smash for me, a huge liability. Needless to say my paranoia calls this sabotage, but I suppose some might also say I am unfair to expect someone else to change their way of life for my own benefit and because of my own weaknesses and failings.
