Don't let him get the best of you, you're doing something great for yourself, and some people will never get that. Like i always say "to hell with your negativity" :-D

:) Thank you guys for letting me vent. It's hard for me to do things that offend or hurt other's especially family (it's a major downfall to being me) which is why he is living with me right now while he looks for work and hopefully gets his own place. I just wish he cared enough about my health to just accept my choices and praise me for them instead of being so hateful...

Then tell them, while your working on a healthier you, there either going to join you, or fend for themselves. Other words. You cook for yourself. And they are big boys. I'm sure they can make a peanut butter sandwich :) (I'm guessing after a little time, they will be more on your side) Be strong and keep up the good work

My husband will eat whatever I make or he will cook something healthy in general. My brother is the one who is complaining. But I can't really make him fend for himself if he buys the food...If I make him mad then he could easily switch all my turkey back to beef and not get my thinwiches for my sandwiches. Just to name off a couple things. I know the main thing is to get him out on his own where my food choices aren't a factor to him...

Maybe he needs a little push to get a job sooner. Siblings are hard to deal with I don't even like mine in my state, I couldn't imagine one in my house. But I would make sure they respected me, my home and the way I live. You paid for food before he came, you will have to pay for it when he leaves. Have him pay a "rent" instead then you won't have to feel so bad about your choices and he can fend for himself. I hope you work it out and everything feels better. Stay strong eat your turkey its so much better.

He only gets food benefits from the state so he can't pay rent :( He is looking for a job and is trying to get hired on where my husband works. I will continue to eat healthy it's just difficult to listen to the complaints.

I hope he finds a job soon so you can peacefully eat what you want again. Hang in there! Have you tried talking to him about why you're eating healthy? Maybe if he knows, he'll be more understanding :)

He knows, he is pretty self-centered so he doesn't really care. He's one of those people who think that what they want is more important than everyone else...but he is family which is why I agreed to help him...it's kind of a no-win situation...

My ex dh complained all the time. If it wasn't heavy on meat, mashed potatoes, and only canned corn and green beans for vegetables we were not eating right. He also ate 1/2 gallon of ice cream every couple days, drank 21 2 liter bottles of sprite, and 2 or 3 large bottles of vodka or gin a week. he hid much of that from me for quite awhile.

I think sometimes, people don't want us to change because it reminds them of their flaws, or things they need to work on. You are doing great for yourself! Keep it up!!

Thank you everyone :) I am just going to keep trying my best to succeed in my goals. He is just a speed bump that I will pass eventually.
