Being on a diet isn't easy, but it's especially tough when you're living with someone who isn't. Watching them eat all the foods you are restricting can be a hard temptation, but diets are a personal choice, and no one else should have to limit themselves for you just because you've decided to diet. Sure, you can be mindful of what you eat in front of someone, but that's about it. One married couple is butting heads over the correct way to go about one of them dieting, and the husband posted on Reddit's Am I The A—hole for some moral support.

    Font - Posted by u/maybenotenough 3 days ago AITA for asking my wife if when she cooks, she can just make normal foods for me and use smaller portions? My wife gained some weight over the past year and was already overweight, so she wanted to make change. She's also pretty short, so the amount of calories she needs to eat is a lot lower than me. I'm 6'4 and an average weight for my height.

    Font - spaghetti squash, halo top, PB2, etc. She's a good cook anyway. But because of the way she measures and portions out things I end up still hungry and going through lots of snacks where I'd rather just have a filling meal.

    Font - One of the things she makes is burritos with these Extreme Wellness wraps that are 50 calories, cauliflower, beans, homemade salsa, and whatever else we have around. They taste good but aren't satisfying at all for me and make me toot a lot.

    Font - I finally sat her down and told her that I'm totally excited she's getting in control of her diet and that she's doing great, I've noticed a huge change in her overall. But that I need more calories and more satisfying meals. I

    Font - more calories and more satisfying meals. I asked if she would mind throwing some rice in the instant pot when she does stuff with cauliflower, or I said I'd do it and she could just warm it up for me with the cauliflower. I gave a lot of suggestions.

    Plant - She got mad and accused me of trying to sabotage her. I argued back saying that there's nothing to sabotage, I want her to lose weight as well so I would be shooting myself in the tootsies if I did that. We kept going back and

    Font - She went and vented about it on her twitter and all her friends were telling her I was a bucket crab (I don't really get it) and trying to push food on her. I just want to feel satisfied AND have her lose weight. AITA?!

    Font - Guys, one of the suggestions I made like I said above was that I could make my rice and stuff ahead of time and she told me it would be too much strain on the budget and would be too much temptation for her to have around.

    Font - Anyway I brought up a couple of things when she got home and she agreed we can shift stuff around in the budget to get me a big bag of rice and dry beans she'll just try to avoid the extra calories. We live in a studio apartment so

    Font - Inanna26 3 days ago I think it's reasonable to pass along her lack of willpower to some degree, just not this much. When I started losing weight my partner actually checked with me to make sure it was OK to have ice cream in front of me (it was). At this point he won't have some late night snacks because he knows that if he starts eating them I will too!

    Font - PoisoNFacecamo Partassipant [1] 3 days ago ESH imo, I followed 1200 calorie diet for 8 months with my spouses support and its not fair of his wife to change his diet without agreeing to it, and its not fair of him to expect her to cook 2 meals

    Font - redrosebeetle Partassipant [4] 3 days ago Adding some rice isn't cooking two meals. I cook the same food for my husband for dinner. I just don't eat the rice or only eat a small part of it. It seems to me that she's jealous that he can eat more food than her, period.
