Are we perhaps driven a little by the "feeders" of the households?
My hubby was the "feeder" - still is. I hate shopping, but we started doing shopping lists together only 3 years ago. Since then he changed to my diet of low carbs etc wheras before he added the crisps, cakes etc to his own list that he made.
Is there perhaps a partner that influences more with shopping and influences the food purchases more? When we act in tune on equals to the "feeders" we empower ourselves more as well? I think
@Molly56 had a huge impact on her partner adjusting his eating habits...ok, she can't force testing, and partner still go by the nurses for his reliance on meds but perhapspartners do also have an influence.
I stayed to my way of eating except once - but that was influence from others...i know if I was totally left to my own devices that food would be the last thing I would ever think of. Its only my hubby that has actually influenced me to eat and you good folk on here pointing me to adding more fat etc...
I also was a real dunce at school and hated it. I've done my learning from life and rhink I challenged myself to keep well and to help others from experiences rather than education...
