I can relate, I changed my diet and cut sugar due to my own health issues, for me, I had to eliminate the temptations from my house and quit buying the things that were harmful to myself and my family.  I began by giving away and eliminating the toxic items from my pantry and house, I stopped buying and bringing them into the home, and I refused to cook poor meals.  We had our battles but these I expressed to my husband, were all decisions that I had to make for my own health.  I also did this for my children.  He could decide to eat his choice outside the home but I firmly asked and maybe demanded that he not bring the garbage into the home.  

We had many fights and he was not happy, we were both sugarholics.  After many years or maybe less, he started noticing that he felt better when he simply ate what I had cooked and he slowly jumped into the bandwagon.  It hasn't been easy but all you can do is focus on your own health and wellness and hope he follows suit.  I did find healthier alternatives to his favorites and I would try to include them into the budget.  I do share a story on my blog about it.  https://yourhealingfoodie.com/2016/11/28/facing-reality-its-all-about-the-pie/.

Hope this helps you on your journey

I stick to simple meals like spaghetti, tacos, enchiladas, hamburger pie, anything you can make unhealthy you can make organic.  Get creative and know you are not alone in the struggle.
