I'm discouraged/Pat

[Guest guest]

Geez Pat, that is terrible that your husband does that especially infront of

your son. You know, my sister, her husband and their two lovely daughters are

all ovo/lacto but her husband is VERY picky... " I don't like this,I don't like

that " . Well, who started picking it up?The girls. My sis and her husband are

both special ed teachers and one of the psychologists that they deal with told

him that that was a really bad thing to do infront of the girls. He is getting

better and so are the girls....my poor sister! I guess that we all have to deal

with these " meatheads! "

Gets discouraging though huh?

My big problem around here is that my husband cannot

stand the smell of most of my vegan meals. He hates

the smell of TVP, and any of the convenience soy

products (Boca, Gardenburger--with the exception of

the riblets, etc).

 

One night last week, I had used our microwave to heat

up some refried beans, and it had been covered, so

there was not splattering on the inside of the

microwave or anything....but when my husband wanted to

nuke his frozen french bread pizza right afterwards,

he turned to our son and said, " Let's go downstairs

and use the microwave under the bar. I don't want my

food being stunk up by Mommy's food " . Grrrrrr.....

 

Now my son has started to act like my husband, and

when we sit down to lunch during the day, he scoots

away or moves to another area to eat, saying the smell

of my food will make his food taste bad.

 

I told him to stop listening to his Father. LOL! :-D

 

Pat :-D

Thanks Stef! :-D Yes, it does get discouraging.

When I saw my doctor a few weeks ago for my regular

blood pressure check, I told her about my vegan diet,

and the first question she asked was, " Do you get

support at home? " , and I was honest with her and told

her that my husband loves that I'm getting healthier,

but he hates the smell of the food and he cringes and

shivers with disgust when I ask if he wants to taste

any of it. She said I need to get more support than

that or I'll probably end up failing. Wow...how awful

is that? So now I'm on this list, and I search out

vegetarian cooking classes or information classes at

our local Whole Foods market, and I'm hoping my

husband will come around. LOL! :-D I'm working on my

son, though. I've already told my husband that I'm

substituting some of my son's fattening foods with

healthier versions without telling him, and he hasn't

complained once! He used to have spaghetti and sauce

with loads of parmesean, but I've chaned it to whole

wheat pasta with marinara and soy parmesean, and he

hasn't noticed the difference! :-D I've made a few

other changes. Amazingly, my husband is supportive of

me changing our son's diet for the better, although he

still can't stand what I eat. :-D

 

It's not going to stop me, though. I'm even more

determined now. Tomorrow will be officially a month

for me of eating vegan, and I love how I feel. I've

lost 19 pounds (down to 285 from 304), and I've lost

several inches as well in my body measurements. And

to think that I've done all of this while eating such

delicious foods! Truly amazing. :-D

 

Could you pass along the recipe that pumpkin recipe

with homemade rolls that you made the other night? It

sounded absolutely delicious.

 

Pat :-D
