How to lose weight while married to an African?

I'm married to a guy from Africa. We eat food from his country as part of our staple diet. He is slim, but i'm the one who is gaining weight. he's happy, i'm not. I don't like feeling this heavy, and I don't want to carry a baby at my current weight. My goal is to lose 70 lbs, which will get me into a size 14. I can be happy and comfortable at a size 14. How do I get there without sacrificing the bond of eating with my husband? The fat content in his food is so high, and he has refused to eliminate fat from the food.......also, we share 1 plate of food, so he gets half, and I get half. I'm gaining weight with my half! Do I need to eat 1/2 of my half??? I'm going crazy.How to lose weight while married to an African?
The way not to do it is starve yourself, to start with. Just exercise and eat right. I did....lost 90 LBS because of it. Starving yourself won't help at all. Drink more water, eat less before bed, and don't eat for stress are the 3 things I follow and i'm going pretty well if i don't say myself. 90 LBS isn't anything like 5-10lbs so take my advice. If you want anymore details, feel free to email me. ~AdiaHow to lose weight while married to an African?
try compromising... like tell him that your going to cook for him and make it healthy. See if you can start doing his thing like once a month and eating more healthy the rest of the time... GL
dont eat to much rice as this has a lot of carbohydrates
