Makes me crazy (wife eating unhealthy)

Sounds like your stuck between a rock and a hard place. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t. I never figured out why some people like eating mounds of junk food. Was she raised in a family that had dessert after dinner every night? Does the like sitting down with a bowl of ice cream and a bag of chips? If she’s been eating this way most of her life, it’s unlikely she will change.

It’s probably best not to intervene, but maybe keep doing what your doing and not buying any junk food.
Junk food is addicting on purpose. It raises dopamine in the brain. The feel-good hormone.
Not comfort food like Grandma's homemade chicken and dumplings. Comfort food like I need more of this to reach the dopamine level I need.
Junk food provides more of it. It doesn't satisfy hunger, it satisfies craving.
Like any drug, just say no.
And your right. Try to keep the junk out of the house as much as possible.
 

I thought about this thread over the weekend. A lady friend of mine asked me to go along to the grocery store with her on Saturday afternoon because she wanted to buy some cases of water and can’t lift, so I said sure. When we got to the checkout with the 8 cases of bottled water, she noticed that her favorite candy bar was on sale. I think it’s called Bueno. The deal was BOGO, so she bought 12 of them and got 12 free. I asked he how long would they last her and surprisingly she told me they would be gone by next Friday, she is not heavy at all, but she jogs every morning and then rides bike every evening. She told me to take one. I would love them. I told her no, thanks. I don’t eat candy.
 
Interesting: This seems like a universal saying. I hear it a lot here in the UK. But only within in male circles, where there are no women around.
I think it is universal..here in America I have many times reminded men of the phrase when they share something nice they did for their wives. They always nod in agreement... 😃 ..
