Okay, so my muffin top doesn't look exactly like this picture- but I'm sure you get the picture. As my faithful readers know, Mr. SE and I have been living together for a little over a week. I've heard of post-wedding weight gain, but I'm thinking that it's more closely related to living together.Mr. SE eats whatever he wants, and looks smoking hot! Me, on the other hand...I have IBS, so preservatives and un-natural foods aren't my friends. They make me gassy and bloating is inevitable. It's a fact that male metabolism is much better that females. I'm home during the day and Mr. SE is at the office. Where does this leave me? With the pantry full of honey roasted peanuts and Doritos!?!?!
I've tried to eat healthy (I'm happy eating plain whole wheat pasta for dinner. I did it almost every night at college). But it tends to drag down Mr. SE's excitement about dinner. We love cooking together, but it's hard for us to find meals that are quick and healthy. Mr. SE feels a need to have meat with every meal, and I honestly wouldn't notice if it wasn't there.
Since I'm still recovering from my last ankle surgery, my normal stand-by cardio routine isn't a possibility. What have you done to help maintain your weight/healthy eating habits while living with your Mr? I would LOVE any, and all, advice that you'd like to give. Please help us make this work, so he's full and I'm not gassy/bloated! Sorry if that was TMI- I feel like we're on that level now.

I hear you!! I'm trying to trim down for our wedding and M eats EVERYTHING in site! He hates healthy foods, all he wants to do is order pizza, AHHH! So I'd love to say I have some stellar advice but none here!
I have IBS and some other issues that prevent me from enjoying delicious fatty foods...and I live with a human vaccuum. He can eat WHATEVER he wants at any time of day and never gain a pound. I live on healthy food... however... I have discovered ways to cook things that would normally kill my tummy...for example- I make some awesome pizza using Trader Joe's pizza dough, pesto (good fat), fontina cheese (good fat), chicken (cooked w spices, spray pam, a little balsamic), and olives. I also bake chicken breaded in saltines, instead of fried chicken, and have discovered I can have meatloaf when its made from ground turkey! If you want some more advice... leave ur email as a comment on my pg and I will send you some awesome recipes!
