Partner telling me to eat healthily- fuming

My DH would laugh if I did this and was trying to be healthier.

Source please? Table salt is sodium chloride, the main electrolytes you lose in sweat. You need potassium too.

Chips are great, but the salt added to chips aren’t the type of salt you need to replace when you sweat excessively, so they would hinder rather than help your hydration levels.

Why do you need to tell your boyfriend your every move?

It wouldn't occur to me in a million years to discuss my hunger, thirst or whatever with my man unless we were in the same room.

It doesn't really matter what he's saying/doing/eating. This is about you.

If you're trying to get fit, healthy, stopping at McDs after a run probably isn't the best idea.

You're upset because you know there's a nugget (no pun intended!) of truth in what he's saying.
That doesn't mean you should pay any mind to what he's saying, though...

Chips are not the devil, don't have an unhealthy relationship with food

I say this as a person that works out every day

He needs to get a grip (and maybe do a workout or two himself)

If he does it again reply 'you first lard arse'😂
Dont flatter him by taking his bs seriously!
Maybe feed him up some, watch him get fatter & fatter, soon he'll burst a blood vessel in a catastrophic way & you wont have to put up with his remarks😶.

OP, I'll just say this. I walk quite a lot usually, my BMI is similar to yours and there's no way I could run three miles. I used to occasionally try a tiny little run back home after dropping DC at school many moons ago and I felt like my lungs were about to seize up. I would ignore any negativity and be proud of yourself ( and enjoy your chips).

I don't think the OP has said she 'needed' McDonald's specifically, just that she felt (rightly or wrongly) that she needed some salty food and presumably McDonald's was handy.

What we need is some of those side-of-the-road chip vending machines they have in other countries 😊

What has being a man got to do with it? And how on earth does someone need mcdonalds?

I have nothing against mcdonalds at all but need?

What a nerve.

@dreamer24 ok that’s fair enough! Hope he apologises for upsetting you with the comment and hope you had the chips and enjoyed them! Good luck on your next run 👏

Genuine question are yoy always so angry so easily and always need support for things ljke going for a run? Is this normal for you?

In what world does she a) need the internet telling her what to put in her body when that was not her question and b) her partner commenting on her perfectly adequate and non-controversial food choices. You don’t have any say whatsoever in how or why OP feels comfortable running or why and when she wants to eat a salty food. It’s of extreme irrelevance whether you think OP’s body needed salt. OP IS her body and she wanted salt – end of.

Regular exercising and eating whatever food you fancy within moderation and with consideration is a normal, healthy way to approach your lifestyle habits.

That anyone would think her partner’s comment was justified is the height of MN batshittery.

Found the responses here quite bizarre OP, I am the same with regards to running. I feel like I am on fire running in the winter let alone in 23 degree weather. Maybe it is my hormones. I also can eat so much food pre and post run whilst still losing weight. It really takes it out of me and I probably run less than you. You shouldn’t have had to explain you are the main breadwinner and you already took your daughter to the park in the morning. You are allowed your time to be spent how you please the same way you can have your chips. Maybe not a smart move, I mean if you done this regularly he should express concern perhaps but after a tough run he shouldn’t have said it like that. He could have worded it differently if he was genuinely concerned. Or made an alternative suggestion like why don’t you grab a sandwich instead that stuff is really not good for you as you’re putting in the effort to run. Sometimes we neglect ourselves but don’t like seeing people we care about do the same, that is different and comes from a good place.

I mean yeah, why tf did he say it? None of his business unless you’ve asked him to help you?

I’m loving the way this thread has blown up and the OP is sticking with it. Proper Sunday random one.

I'd find it funny if my partner had Mac Donald's after a run and maybe comment on it. It's like supporting you to real your goals.
Your body definitely doesn't need it to replace salt! It was 23 not 33, perfect running weather.
What he ate is by the by. You started the conversation and he's gently encouraging you to make a better choice to fit with your goal.

It's astounding how many people are rude to overweight people in public.

I'm on thyroid medication that causes weight gain in 90% of users.

One of these days I'm gonna end up force feeding them to one of these arseholes so they get to experience the shoe on the other foot!

Sometimes men are blind to their own state and still think it's ok to criticise women.

I was at a cricket match today and some twunt with an enormous beer belly pointed at me and laughed (I'm a size 20). Of course his miserable looking bitch of a wife chuckled along (must have been a size 16 herself). Then someone else from our group walked past and they started elbowing each other and pointing at her and puffing their cheeks out like they couldn't believe what they were seeing.

He didn't look impressed when I stood in front of him and shouted back to her 'Imagine having a belly like that and calling others fat!'.

Absolute twats.

I agree its odd. Obviously we dont know the whole context and your relationshiop dynamics etc. but I wouldnt like the remark either. (Nor have I a problem with you wanting chips after a run.)

This is OTT and over-therapising the issue. It’s never OK when someone says something the wrong side of critical – especially your partner. Everyone should have awareness of how and why their words land in the world.
