In all honesty you may want to consider not yelling at him every time he picks a food you dislike.
Instead of that you should probably both learn how to compromise.
First off, instead of yelling and starting a fight with him... why not tell him how much you love him and that you worry about him? I mean if every time I reached for a cookie someone yelled at me... I wouldn't be motivated to stop... I'd just be pissed off at them for nagging me constantly.
Second... why don't you try to find foods that both of you like? There may be foods out there that are more appetizing to him yet still be healthy.
And thirdly... seriously, don't ban him from "junk". If someone constantly told you what you can't eat... you wouldn't be put off from eating it. You'd just crave it more because it was forbidden.
I'm serious about that too. I learned about a study where the group was told "no mustard" every day. by the end of the experiment everyone craved mustard and talked about how much they were going to eat it when the experiment was over. They didn't know... the REAL test was to see if the psychologists could induce a mustard craving.
So basically, science backs it up... telling someone "no" constantly will make them want it more.
You have to learn to compromise. And fighting them every time they pick what you dislike won't fix the problem.
Is it normal that i get angry at my boyfriend for always eating junk?
