SkinnyHusband never deprives hisself. He eats fruits and veggies all the time but if we go out somewhere, he gets what he wants. Last night, he drank multiple drinks, ate a bunch of wings, and got a sundae. He seemed to really enjoy hisself. I made a comment about my calories and how I was coming close that day and he said "I'm not on a diet" and smiled.
For years, I felt if we go out to eat, you need to eat a treat so I would get something very bad for me cause it was a "treat." Then, I started to realize we were going out a lot and eating a lot of "treats."
We have cut back on going out all the time which has helped both of us because it is a bit unhealthy, but when we did go out, I still had the "treats" mentality. I had gotten use to sweet treats at the end of every meal and appitizers.
SkinnyHusband started turning down dessert or offering to share. Now we do dessert as a legit treat-every once in a while. We also don't devour our entire meal. He use to eat 20+wings. Now, 10 suffices and if he gets 20, he brings some home.
Less is truly more. I don't have to live everyday like it's my last when it comes to food because I don't want it to be my last. I can live everyday to the fullest without being overly full.
