I wish I could explain it!

I am beyond frustrated trying to explain myself to my hubby.  For him food/eating is a big thing.  Like he has been dieting, lost weight but hasn’t lost anymore, I suggested he cut back his calories again and he simply won’t hear of it.  I don’t know how else to explain it to him that he needs to cut back a little again, because his body has adjusted to the change he made already.  His dinner portions are back to being more than when he started the diet too.  He now has gained 4.5 pounds and was upset. I don’t how to keep explaining it to him to cut back again, but food is a big deal when I bring it up, its nope, not cutting back again.  He snaps at me and then I feel like I am doing something wrong.  If I could, I would sneak one of those  appetite suppressants into him somehow, he isn’t one to take a lot of medications, but if I could sneak it as a vitamin I would!  Now I lost about a pound.  I know I have a lot on my plate at the moment and stress is the factor.  I just try and take things one day at a time.  Just like today I feel so exhausted and no energy, I think all the cleaning I did yesterday and using bleach ( just the smell makes me feel sick), I over did it.  So today I am just trying to take it easy.  One day at a time!
