For me the struggle is not the meals, as we eat quite lightly in comparison to others and we rarely eat dessert with our meals. It is the in-between snacks, delicious fresh Danish pastries, citrus tarts (yum) and cappuchinos/lattes etc. (when my husband and I meet up during the day or go shopping), as well as, having supper such as cheese, olives, crackers and port in the evening which I think are the real culprits.

I agree with Aussie99 if I was single I'd would not be very motivated to eat but my husband is the driving force with food and he's doesn't have a weight issue. It simply isn't fair. The difference between a fast and a slow metaboliser - -grrr! He goes off to the kitchen and makes something very tempting in the evening (a few hours after dinner) and comes back with it and I say "you have that/those" and he says "no I made some for you"......what can I do! How sweet is that?
