Seriously...its not that hard.....and youre really narrowing your chances of finding a good man

Im surrounded by carb junkies in this house

SkeeterN · 11-10-2005, 02:03 PM

I've got one and you can't have him.

Hope you find the man of your dreams

kellysue24 · 11-10-2005, 02:09 PM

yeah I am looking too....not necessarily for a lcing one though....

bluejp5 · 11-10-2005, 02:20 PM

your right.. i shouldnt be soooo picky... but my thought with atkins and this wol is that it is for my health more than losing weight and if i am with someone who eats nothing but carbs and sugar then i know he isnt healthy or as healthy as he could be... im a strong person and can resist the temptation (now) being around people who eat whatever.. thats not the problem... i was just thinking that it might be nice to be with someone that has the same ideas as i do and that has health in mind too.. just not whats on the outside... i guess you can compare it to religions... some people dont marry or even look for a hubby of a different religion... and they may miss out on a great guy, but because he is not a certain faith then they dont want him... i dont know though.. that is just my opinion... i know i am tired of being alone and i am tired of dating guys who put down the way i eat and who eat whatever and that are not supportive...

Doug1960 · 11-10-2005, 07:39 PM

You can find whatever you're looking for if you look long enough and hard enough... or you might just bump into "the guy" when you're not even looking. Just put yourself in tip-top order and you'll be amazed at what just falls into your lap!

buffedstuff · 11-10-2005, 09:11 PM

I hope you fine mr lowcarb and may he be a dreamboat

bluejp5 · 11-11-2005, 09:08 AM

thanks for the good thoughts!!...

that's my life. my dh weighs anywhere between 140 and 150 and yes he can eat anything he wants. it's not that hard MOST the time. I make one meal (again, most the time). I'll eat the meat and vegi and add a starch for the family . on the occasion I'm not making something for them that I can have (pasta, etc) I will make sure I have something available that I like for me. again, I usually choose something that is easy or dh will bbq a steak for me. I don't want to start cooking 2 complete meals daily and honestly most the time it's not necessary.

my dh has always been very supportive of me even though he isn't a low carber. there are some good ones out there.

also, just because someone CAN eat anything they want doesn't mean they are unhealthy. dh can eat what he wants but he is very healthy and tends to not overeat.

SugarBabi · 11-13-2005, 04:45 PM

My husband is not very supportive of the low carb lifestyle, but that isn't saying that he's a bad guy or that he doesn't care. He just doesn't seem to grasp the whole concept of it and I give up on him ever doing so.

He has the idea that if you eat only half as many potatoes as you did before, then it's a low carb meal. hahaha!! (maybe that's his way of trying, who knows?)

He also thinks that eating pizza once a week won't kill you and you only live once. He doesn't understand at all. So he's a constant tempter to me, but I also know it is up to me to decide what I eat and it's totally up to me to eat low carb and enforce that lifestyle upon myself.

Each meal we have is like being at a restaurant where each of you orders something different. I've grown accustomed to making basically two meals, but it's only him and me, so it's not too hard to do. Some things he likes. I always tell him if it's low carb and he is willing to try it. If he hates it, he tells me and it becomes "dog food" (unless I really like it--hasn't happened so far) and then if he likes it or he can eat it (like low carb bread, he can eat it he says--not his preference, but if that is all there is...) he will say he likes it.

I've often thought exactly like you--if I had someone who ate the same way I did, it would be great. Then I started thinking--with my ex-husband, I wasn't low carbing and we still didn't like the same things. LOL He was a toad though, so of course he only ate bugs! hahaha!!(Kidding)

I do hope you find the man of your dreams. Just make sure that the way he is---is the way you can stand him for life. It's an illusion to hope someone will change. Most people do not. So if he smokes, then accept it. (if you can live with that) Any of his other bad habits, accept them and don't criticize him for them later--only if you can accept them in the first place. Good luck!! I'll keep you, bluejp5 and kellysue24 in my prayers.

There are quite a few low carbing men on this site. I don't know who is single and who is not...but there is always hope...*Big Grin*

I can't really say I am actively looking, but it would be nice to have a man in my life--he don't have to be a lowcarber either.

CARLINI · 11-14-2005, 01:49 PM

I have to say I'm lucky. I found the man of my dreams

and he's lost 100LBS lowcarbing. Maybe I can clone him?

this is very, very wise! DH and I talk to teenagers about dating/relationships, etc. and we emphasize this over & over.

we also talk about being treated w/ respect and dignity. if the other is not willing to treat you with respect and appreciation for everything you are and vice-versa -- if the other will not let you treat them with respect and appreciation - then RUN!

love and be happy with who you are, and others will too. open your mind and your heart and be accepting of who comes across your path. be willing to try new things and try them with new people (w/out damaging your moral, values or principles). even if you don't find "mr./ms. right", you'll have a wonderful life full of rich experiences that no one can take from you.

Sending all you singles lots of luck!

Lori37 · 01-03-2006, 09:37 AM

hmm I could use the same thing...a LC hubby! Let me know if you find any in cali. lol

Krislee · 01-04-2006, 01:17 PM

BlueJP,

Stop limiting yourself! There are wonderful men out there....that eat all sorts of things!

I'm not married anymore, but am in a very serious relationship. I don't think it matters if your "other" is low carbin' it or not....My guy eats everything bad...but he also eats everything good...his blood is good, his cholesterol is good...he has a strong heart and strong body...I don't believe that a person isn't eating healthy if he isn't lowcarbing it.

Remember, your way isn't nessecarily everyone else's way and just because this WOE works for us...doesn't mean it's going to work for everyone...just don't pass up a good one because he eats differently....besides, you have to get use to having other kinds of food around eventually anyway...my fridge is stacked with fruit....I'm the kind of mom that pushes fruit and milk....even tho' I don't eat it anymore.

Good Huntin'!

Lehgrad · 01-04-2006, 01:47 PM

I don't care if my future hubby low carbs or not. I'm not picky... he just has to look like Brad Pitt.

Lori37 · 01-04-2006, 03:35 PM

Yeah I think I'd take a brad pitt look alike over a LC man anytime.

Pcola Girl · 01-19-2006, 12:33 PM

If you are looking for a low carb partner why don't you post a new thread to see what guys are low carbing. Maybe some will respond to it.
Not sure which site to post it on but I thought it may help you.
