[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The sports has been an ongoing thing. I have signed her up for several sports in the last 2 years. She finished all of them, but she didn't care to continue any. We recently found the sport she loves and she's doing it. I signed her up for 2 classes a week and she's adding daily exercise so she can build the little bit of muscle she needs to do well.

I have been asking for him to change his habits or to let me take over the shopping responsibility or for several years. Trying to get anything away from someone with serious control issues is very difficult and the entire house has to deal with the fallout. He was angry that I did the shopping yesterday, but hasn't said anything about it after storming out.

I precooked and preportioned meals for most days this week. I cut up the fruits that can be precut and portioned them in individual servings. I'd love to be there to monitor snacks and cook dinner every night of the week, but it isn't possible. I'm doing what I can do on the weekends. I've been feeding her breakfast and packing her lunch with her every morning since the fall. It's snacks, dinner and desserts that are a ridiculous amount of empty calories.

Her and I talked about it yesterday. I told her I would be doing the shopping because I want her to have healthy foods. We discussed the things she eats that I won't be buying and what we're going to replace it with. She seemed relieved when I told her eating more whole foods and less junk will improve her energy level. I did not bring up weight. My mother was a freak about weight when I was young and it was awful. We're focusing on eating and exercising so she has the strength and energy to do the things she wants to do.

[b]I am worried about him trying to sabotage these efforts with Dairy Queen runs and other bullshit. I'll figure out how to deal with that. I'd be thrilled to hear suggestions if anyone has some.[/b]

Thanks, everyone. [/quote]

OP, you were given plenty of suggestions for this on the first page. Let me summarize: get into marriage counseling or you could decide that you've had enough of his passive aggressive behavior and leave. This is a HUGE problem between you and your husband around communication, control  and how you need to be on the same page with raising your daughter in a healthy way. There really aren't any other suggestions than that. Get off DCUM and look for a marriage counselor. [/quote]
