I think my husband is fattening

Yesterday wasn’t a total bust. I was depressed until I did my leg exercises.  Exercising usually seems to pull me out of it at least for a little while.  But yesterday I actually was good after that.

The problem is I think my husband is fattening.  I’ve told him so too.  For some reason when he is around I want to do things I tell myself I am not going to do.  For instance he was traveling for a week last fall.  That entire week I ate perfectly.  I didn’t even want to eat junk or drink.  I could talk to him on the phone and it was still all good in the eating department.  As soon as he came home that all changed.  Part of that I know is that he is HUGE snacker so all the junk was back in the house.  But I actually can feel something change in me and I am more susceptible to overeating. We have a really good relationship.  The stress of no jobs and no money takes its toll sometimes but this is an all the time thing.   

So what do I do?  Somehow I am associating my husband, comfort and food together.  I guess I need to figure out a way to change that. 

But back to yesterday.  The good mood started when I did my leg exercises.  Later I also did some cardio dancing for 25 minutes.  I must have kept myself busy and up on my feet a good part of the day because my legs were killing me by the end of it.  But in spite of the sore legs we still got in our 2 mile walk.  So all in all it was a good day for calorie burning.  Dear husband went to the store and bought some DiSaronno Amaretto; my favorite.  He also brought with that some beef jerkey.  Prior to this I was going to end my day with a calorie deficit of about 1100-1200.  Instead I probably broke even because I had some beef jerkey, lucky charms and about 3-4 ounces of Amaretto.  I haven’t worked the numbers but I do know it doesn’t fit in with my goal to lose 2 pounds a week.
