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.
