I just had my thrid baby about three weeks ago, and i promised myself that i would loose the baby weight after the baby was born, and now that he is here i really want to look the way i did before i had my first child, but my husbands mother and father just moved in with us from ny, and they don't eat healthy at all. The other day my husband and his family went grocrey shopping and brought home all this candy and chips and stuff that i just love.
How am i suposed to loose the weight if all i see is this stuff in my pantry.
before they moved in i would go to the pantry when i was hungry and there was nothing to snack on that was bad for my health. and to top it off, my husband just had a heart exam and they determand that he was very over weight and he needed to loose alot of weight. Not only is this bad for all our healths but it is bad for my three year old and my 2 year old, who love to eat this stuff as well.

What do i do? i have tried to talk to my husband about it, but he takes his parents side. i don't want to look like that bad guy and tell my mother and father in law that they can't buy these things, but it is making it so hard for us to stay away from it.

so if any of you have any sugestions tell me please/
thanks. mindy

Hi mindy...well that's a hard one if your husband isn't giving you back up...you have very valid reasons for what you want done...so if flat out asking for the stuff not to come in the house isn't going to work...ask them to hide it.I know it probably sounds silly...but I can not have sweets in the house because I will eat it...can't help myself!!So the limited amount of sweets the kids do have they have to hide from me...I don't know where it is and don't care.Try having a serious heart to heart with your in laws and your husband...explain where your coming from...really hit on how unhealthy it is for the kids...if they won't back off...ask them to hide it.

Good luck to you...and welcome to FT!
