Late FF Vent
M: Seriously babe, I love you a lot but you said you would support me during my transition. Coming home tonight with 2 bags FULL of McDonald's is NOT cool. Not to mention you are eating it louder than normal and it's getting on my effing nerves! I'm drooling at the smell of it let alone it being in my face. You suck and I wish you also wouldn't eat it (the McDonald's I mean) cause I'm sure it's doing wonders for your BP. I don't see why you can't just get 1 sandwich and 1 fry if you MUST eat McD's, but noooo you have to get THREE sandwiches and 2-3 large fries. You disgust me. Really. AND it's 10:30 at night, way to go FatMan.
Sorry for this late vent, he just got home from work and stopped for something for dinner and it's just really hard smelling that yumminess and not wanting to/being unable to eat it. And like I said, it's like he's purposely eating it ULTRA loudly. Not to mention the whole "I'll support you" bit, but comes home with McDonald's. Tonight, he's managed to get on my nerves simply by eating. I could totally leave the room and go in the bedroom until he's done eating, which I actually said I was gonna do, but then he started whining because he's going to bed as soon as he's done eating. And I don't feel like hearing a grown man whine tonight so I'm making myself miserable and sitting next to him on the couch while he stuffs his fat face with fat food.
Re: Late FF Vent
Agreed.
TOTALLY NOT COOL for soo many reasons!
McDs is TERRIBLE for him and so not nice that he brought it home as you are working at healthiness!
BOOOOOOOO on M!!! NO MORE MCDONALD'S!!!!
My arteries clogged just reading this! OMG-I would die... Lots of kudos to you for your will power!!!
Wow-the calories of one burger and fry are bad enough, but 2-3??!?
Not cool. I hope you gave him 'what for'...
That aside... how's the vegetarian eating going?
It's going very well! I shop at Whole Foods Market now and there's SO much there. It's actual Vegan, the way I'm eating. No meat and no dairy. That's the 1 difference between the two. With Soy milk I find that I have to drink a flavor, chocolate or vanilla. I tried plain, but it just tastes too weird to me, I mean I'm sure after a while of drinking it I wouldn't notice it, but I can't explain the taste, it's different. I also tried Almond Milk, and that's literally what it tastes like, almonds. I think it's fantastic in cereal though. I've been eating fruit for breakfast at work and having wraps for lunch and dinner until I can get the motivation to cook a meal, well actually the patience to cook it. I've found a lot of recipes that really don't take all that long, but I'm pretty lazy when it comes down to it.
Thanks for asking!
So proud of your will power!
Keep it up. I know I could never give up meat and dairy - but I do like the soy milk (flavors only though - 8th continent is yummy in chocolate).
I hope the health benefits you have rub off on M and he at least realizes that McD's burgers and fries aren't great...maybe he could try a salad?
Good luck!

M that is just plain old selfishness.
I can not believe you had the will power to not eat it so soon into your journey.
M sucks. Plain and simple. I would've shoved the entire thing of fries down his throat until he choked for being so inconsiderate.
Lots of kudos to you for your new eating plan! Sounds like it's great...keep it up!
