It's the same with trying to lose weight. I was hoping for support from my veggie-loving husband. However, he is also a lazy, midnight-snacker. So that means when I have to rely on him to make dinner, I get some kind of convenience food loaded with fat and other harmful substances followed with a bowl of ice cream at 10:30 at night. Then there are my kids who have requested some yogurt of their own. They see me eating it every day and want to be healthy too.
I want my life to be about finding joy. Today I found joy in my children. and the fact that I am carrying around 7 less pounds than I was in December.
First, D needs to get on board. If he loves veggies, then I can give you a TON of super yummy veggie dishes that are easy to make and your boys might like. Maybe try and switch out the ice cream for real fruit bars so you don't feel as bad. OR one of my faves is to freeze a bag of grapes and eat those when the urge hits. There are SO many ways to make steps towards what you're trying to do. Just remind your hubs that he needs to be around, too <3
