What to do. . .

Okay, when you're dating and you're a "normal" couple, you can go to Starbucks or Baskin Robbins for a little treat.

But what do you do when you both eat healthy?? My bf and I hardly go out because of this.

you could go out and just sit there not eating anything, preferably in workout clothes so everyone else feels guilty and fat when they leave.

maybe look for alternative things to do and have a healthy snack at home? or look for a lowfat small portion option at these places and consider it a treat? every now and then wont hurt.. maybe use it as a celebration... dunno.. i'm sure there are other things to do?

Go to the movies, go to the zoo, go hiking...cook more complex healthy meals than you do on a daily basis together and enjoy each other's company while doing it (my favorite...Gawd I love watching a man cook...

).

I LOVE not having to worry about entertaining the other party with crappy food. You should be excited you found another person whose soul purpose in life is not stuffing his gut.

Hmm. Good thinking! I'll consider it.

Yup. I'm all about the treat every now and then, but not my bf. It's strict diet ALL the time.

What a weirdo

Oh damn, my boyfriend and I are the same way. It seems like our only "outings" are the gym, grocery shopping, and sometimes blockbuster.

Try Yogen Fruz (or something similar)...you can get sugar free frozen yogurt. Mmmmmm.....I'd like to do this today!

Boating , camping , hiking , rollerskating , ice skating, bowling , snowboarding , shooting , the list goes on and on. Theres always something to do.

You can still go to Starbucks. . .and get out of there CHEAPER than you would've if you weren't watching what you eat. Just get a black coffee of your choosing and have them add a sugar-free syrup, like vanilla. You can add your own cream, Splenda, etc. and still get that warm, relaxed and cozy feeling a Starbucks trip brings about!

Instead of Baskin Robbins, you could go to an Earth Fare or Wholefoods near-by and see what kind of stuff they have. Or you could grab some ***e yogurt, fruit and Stevia. It's not ice cream, but it'll do in a pinch.

My family and friend's get togethers are ALWAYS "food-centric." It's tough!

You can still got out and have a nice healthy dinner. When I got out it's usually for a nice steak. Steak, sweet potato, salad and lots of veges. Sometimes it's nice to not have to cook for yourself.

Make ants on a log together (celery, peanut butter, and raisins).

It's cute, and you can even play with the "ants."

...not like I do this by myself or anything...

Go for a walk! You could do it in a park and call it a hike! If you are around water, like I am, kayaking is a good couple thing. Starbucks and tea are my thing, not expensive and I don't do coffee!

Lol if you cant eat ice cream and stuff or drink a mocha or something every now and then you guys arent busting a grape. Hell Im gonna eat another 2 slices of cake tonight (had 2 earlier pre ab workout) and 2 bowls of ice cream. All you gotta do is bust ass and burn it all off.

Dude, do you know how lucky you are to find someone who's on the same page as you? I'm sure you do but to answer your question, one solution would be to synchronize your cheat meals! Or you can just order something healthy. Do either of you have your own yard? You could work on a garden together where you grow your own organic veggies. You can throw a piece of soil at him out of nowhere...then he'll pick a strawberry off and throw it at you in retaliation.. pretty soon this playful fight will turn into kinky whoopie-making session where both of you get a little dirty... Beats the hell out of getting fat together @ Baskin Robbins right??

This is just what my husband and I do. We grill year round (yes even when there's snow on the ground), but just having someone else's cooking is great. We are also not against having a cheat meal every once in a while.
