Is it wrong of me to tell my H to stop eating my low carb food? He’s not following any sort of eating plan and there are a number of other things in the house for him to eat. So I’m wondering if it’s wrong if I tell him to stop eating my low carb food.

I don't think it's wrong. Plus, I imagine some of that food is expensive? You could put it as "There's only so many things I can eat, so if you eat my low-carb food, then there's nothing here for me to eat." Or tell him if he's going to eat it, you'll need to know so that you can buy more of it (like two bags of something instead of one).
Thanks for this!

Of course it’s not wrong. He should be helping you do this, not hindering you.

I wouldn't turn it into a fight - if it is food you both want to eat (for whatever reason) just buy enough for the both of you. If he is going to eat it as well, then you can reduce or eliminate the higher carb food in your house altogether. You could look at it as his willingness to eat the low carb food as support.

It definitely won’t be a fight. I just wanted to know if it’s wrong to ask him to stop. I don’t mind if he wants a portion of what I make for myself, but I very much do mind if he eats it all and this is the second time it happend. He left me with no dinner. I asked him last week not to eat all my low carb dinners. I come home from work hungry and would like the food I made ahead of time that accommodates my eating plan to be available to me. I’ll speak with him in a non confrontational manner.

Yeah.. LT..it does cost a little more money to eat lower carb. A package of meat verses a $1.79 box of pasta. A package of 6 low carb wraps vs a whole loaf of bread.
Thanks for this!

Yeah, that's not cool if he's leaving you without a dinner you prepared for yourself earlier. Definitely say something about that...I thought it was just that he was eating some low-carb snacks or something (which I'd still say something about).
Thanks for this!

I've thought of something I wanna do with my life, or at least try this year and I've already set up 1 class for it in May

I am gonna teach dog classes to people with disabilities and to children. It will be my way to honor my dog (he loved doing therapy work like that) and to push myself out of my comfort zone and to make T proud, if we ever talk again.... plus I've been wanting a way to get back into the dog world since my dog passed.... the class that is already set up, I get paid 200$ to teach it.

Wow, that's a great idea! Good that it's already set up. I imagine if it's successful you could take on some individual clients for it, too, if they might need more help.

I've done private training for years. I just lost interest in all dog stuff after my dog passed... so I'm trying to get back into it. My personal dog business is still open, and I'm on rover.com but not much business from either yet

Ended up calling that counseling center back a second time yesterday and got no answer again. So called them again this morning and still no answer so I left a message this time. It's been a few hours and so far nobody has called me back. I feel like this isn't going to work out, but I'll give them a whole week to call back before I look elsewhere.

Hi Couchies! Earlier morning at work than normal, but not too early. I had time to go to Starbucks this morning and get coffee!! I'm not feeling as well emotionally as I had been the past couple of days but I'm hoping I'm not going into a slide. We'll see. HUGS to anyone who wants one! Kit

Ah, OK--I imagine you could get some referrals from teaching the class.

Hopefully. I'm excited, because it's gonna be published in the class catalog which is mailed to all people in my city..... and my dog's photo is in it I wish T could know about all this though, that's what makes it hard. I wish he knew, I wish he cared. Sigh....

I snuck in a .5 mile walk on my break earlier, that felt good. I'm so glad I found my healthy mojo back.
