Due to my cooking, Craig has put on about 15 pounds. Over the past several months I have worked pretty hard to help him not gain more – I think successfully. Today he announced that he was going to lose 5 pounds by next Sunday.
My response to him is Good for you!!! I will do what I can to help.
My internal response is NOT FAIR. He will likely be successful while I am struggling.
This is yet another male/female difference. My observation is that with calorie reduction and increased activity males can generally count on losing a few pounds but this is not necessarily the case for women.
I could sabotage his efforts by making a batch of oatmeal pecan cookies but I will play nice.
