My hubby is a genius. He and I are both trying to shed some extra pounds, and he came up with an excellent way to keep each other accountable.  He came up with a diet plan which we have affectionatly named the “I Love My Spouse Diet”.

 It’s simple…Anything I put into my mouth, I give my hubby permission to put into his mouth. And anything hubby puts into his mouth, he gives me permission to put into my mouth. Since I love my hubby and don’t want him to eat a Six Dollar Guacamole burger with bacon from Carl’s Jr, I cannot eat it (although they are insanely yummy!).  Since we both want to see each other lose weight, we must eat in a way that the other CAN lose weight. AND we must be honest with each other and not hide food! Brilliant. I’ll probably eat a can of green beans for lunch…hmm…yummy?
