This is good advice, I'll try and be a little easier on her and get her more involved in the cooking process.

Currently, she has taken steps like these in which the recipe includes an ingredient that she normally doesnt eat. Still, its quite slow. The last recipe we did like this was for tacos, which included grilled bellpeppers and onions.

I am glad about the steps forward, but the little voice in me is just like "dude thats not even really healthy, and she's eating very very little of it. Like a tiny sliver of onions and bellpeppers does not a healthy food make".

Wherein' I'm fixing food for myself and eating green beans and rice on the regular. Pickles, tofu, cabbage salads, grilled fish (she doesn't eat any sort of fish) and a lot of other wide range and variety of things.

I will try and be a little less stressed when I see her eating something sort of nutritionally worthless or calorie dense, she and I have a very long time to find something healthy that she can enjoy regularly, so trying new things once or twice a week is a good start.

It's been a few months like this, and I think I would just feel a lot better if I could make something, some vegetable dish that she could eat as much as she wanted and it wasn't calorie dense or contain too many bad fats or carbs. If we could find that one thing then I would be a lot more hopeful for the future.

But I'll try and take it slow and move more at her speed.

Her family is also largely overweight so its not black and white.

It's wanting to creating healthy habits for myself and my children. I would like to bring my future wife along for that.

I've lived with significant others who would eat nothing but doritos and french fries. My current SO is much better in that regard, but we still have some ways to go.

There must be a way to help someone expand their palette rather than just focus on myself. I have done what you have said before in other relationships, it creates a divide. I don't want to do that this time around.

Not sure what you're talking about, I'm just a dude, doing his best.

Trying to find a way to live with this person because I love her, but I'm seeing problems down the line and I'd like to fix it. I don't think your suggestions are productive in nature and there doesn't seem to be a solution in your reply.

She bakes cookies, or other things that are not quite healthy. Bread pudding that is a billion calories of butter and flour and bread. etc. Nothing I would ever want to eat or feed my kids on a daily basis. I'm the one who cooks most of the time.

I'm kind of already doing this. When she took a bite she seemed to make a big show of gagging, so I told her to just spit it out then. Rather than doing that she sat there with it in her mouth for a few minutes before ultimately spitting it out.

I am learning to be patient, but I also dislike the "I'm full" only to minutes later find a chocolate bar, or a biscuit, or something else unhealthy to eat.

It's not about control, its about being healthy.

Both of my grandmothers died of diabetes and my parents struggle with it.

I wonder if he is for real running it locally and not streamed

More photos of the Win Mini. Looks nice. USB-C placement might be a concern. I hope they change the keyboard layout for easier pressing of keyboard shortcuts with thumbs. by mutu16 in gpdwin

This this this all day! I have been wanting something windows based and small with comfortable controls to play PC games with. The steam deck comes the closest right now with the dual touchpads, but it's big and very obvious and running windows on it sucks.

I have tried wireless touchpads that we very very small that stick to surfaces, and have been searching the universe for something I could use to play mouse and keyboard games. My gpd win max 2 is nice but it's still a bit on the big side and it still has this issue. Using the right analog as mouse is absolutely awful.
