Can be hard when you get those constant food cues. Leaving the room sounds like a good strategy. I made the mistake for many years of matching my husband's food intake when I really, really needed to be eating less than him 

So what does his waistline look like? And who is in charge of buying groceries? Grapes are a wonderful snack food replacement for junk. 

I buy the groceries. He will grab healthy stuff it’s just the constant shoveling of food, when I can’t eat anymore. I will buy a couple lbs. of grapes and he will Sit and eat the entire bag or half and then go grab something different and start in on it. Lol! He is a little bigger than he was 15 years ago but his metabolism makes me sick. He can lose weight super quick and just doesn’t have the struggle like I do. God love him. I know I do. The struggle is real but I can see this working. I just have to stay disciplined. Thanks for the support. 

In our house - I am the idiot who can't stop eating! I can easily fast until 2 pm, but once I start....... it's ON like DONKEY KONG! Man, I LOVE food..... but hate my addiction to it!!! 

So would you really WANT to match him chip for chip or gummy for gummy? You had dinner, you’re full!!! Just stop. Unfortunately, he will probably start having weight or medical problems related to his excessive eating at some point in time. He appears to have a much bigger problem than you do. He is a binge eater . 

Good to hear that you’re the grocery shopper in the family. And now you can stop purchasing chips, crackers or raisins. If he wants that junk food, he can go buy it himself. Baby carrots, sugar snap peas, radishes or grapes for snacking instead. I’m betting that he does have some medical issues brewing though if he’s been binge eating for years. 

I have a "rule" for myself. I have dessert of some kind every night after dinner. It varies in calorie content. When I was actively losing, I had several lower cal choices & I had one. After that the kitchen is closed. It doesn't matter what Hubby is eating across the room. He's actually gotten pretty good about having his dessert, then stopping for the night, too. But, there was a time he'd have chips or something I didn't want to eat. I made the decision it didn't matter what he ate...I was in charge of managing my own snacks.  

I know that struggle. Keep strong 

I'm married to a snacker as well. And he does the grocery shopping. Luckily he likes all those processed , sugary snacks, which I don't so it doesn't trigger cravings in me but when he takes out the crunchy, salty snacks I'll admit it can be hard. That's when I get my prepped raw veggies. It works most times!  

I never thought about knitting to keep my mind and hands busy while others are eating. I am definitely trying that today! Thanks!
