I’m feeling a bit gutted with all this talk of clothes fitting better - it doesn’t seem to have much difference at all to mine! I got some lovely linen trousers from Vinted at the start of summer - size 18 and because they had no stretch/ give they were so tight on my stomach and looked awful. I kept them thinking if I could get some weight off I might still get use from them this summer. I’m about to go away for 4 nights with a friend so they would have come in well then. Just tried them on and they honestly don’t look any better - if at all really. I’ve lost around a stone (will wait for official weigh in day Monday to confirm!) but wherever that has gone from it’s not my belly! I should have measured shouldn’t I?
I’m feeling very bloated though. Spent Wednesday night/ Thursday morning throwing up/ going to the loo - ate nothing all day Thursday and barely anything yesterday but DH wanted to do homemade pizzas last night and I was that hungry by then I ate a full one, hence serious bloating this morning. I feel queasy and uncomfortable and still like I need the loo but can’t go today. I’m really hoping this all settles and looking forward to getting back into the type of eating that was really suiting me before holidays etc.
It’s hard with DH - he’s about 80% of my food noise all by himself! He only has the tiniest understanding of what healthy eating actually is/ looks like. He eats more than anyone I’ve ever met (and I’m from a family of big eaters!) and then his version of being healthy is just not eating at all. Or he’ll say right that’s it we’re only having X/Y/Z from now on but really can’t grasp that you need protein, veg etc with every meal, and some healthy carbs in there during the day. Drives me mad when he feeds DD.
He’s really big on us eating together and eating the same thing, and he likes to cook some of the time but then his options are always pizza/ burgers etc. He keeps telling me I should go back to being veggie as the meat doesn’t suit my IBS (which is true and why I still try to keep it fairly minimal) but then pulls a face when I plan a veggie meal these days (when I didn’t eat meat he never ate it at home either though - because he always seems to think we should have the same and ‘there’s no point cooking twice’ even though it’s fairly easy to adapt things).
Anyway, that’s a big AIBU style rant about my DH who is actually pretty great, it’s more just that I kind of wish I could take myself out of family meal rotations for a bit and focus on myself without having to fit in everyone else’s preferences.
