Men and dieting

I survived day 1!! It was not nearly as difficult as I thought it would be. The nice thing too is that I was able to still go out to dinner and have a date night with my boyfriend. I asked him where we were going and used my handy dandy WW app on my phone to look up my points. Yesterday ended up being a lot less stressful then I originally thought it would be. Counting and tracking was not hard at all and I didn't feel like "Ohh I'm not allowed to have that" when I went grocery shopping or out to dinner. The only difficult part is the boyfriend. Why is it that when you tell a guy you are trying to eat good and that you need to lose weight that little saboteur instinct kicks in? Do they know that they are doing this? Do they not want you to look healthier? Mine even tells me he wants to lose weight with me and do this.....but then what happens when he goes to the store..."Babe...I bought a bag of fruit for you and Loooook what I got......" as he holds up a "Family Size" (its just the two of us) box of Chips Ahoy Cookies. Not that I can't have them, but I'd prefer not to spend my points on something like that. Even after he asked me 5 times if I wanted a cookie....I was able to resist. I'm just hoping that this sabotage phase passes soon. As I started thinking back to the other times I've tried...its usually the "so where are you allowed to eat?", "What are you allowed to eat? oh you can't have this??" that has made me give up....not this time.
