From Cocoon to butterfly

My husband can be so supportive and so stupid at the same time. Hmm, guess that is all men really. Anyhow. He has been so excited over me finally getting my weight off again. You see, I lost down till 157 in 2006 and then got pregnant and gained it all back less a few pounds. He was disgusted with my gain and always fussed at me for it but I knew that I had to do it myself if I was going to do it. If I did it for him, I would be eating again the first moment we argued. Well, Finally started it once I got back from the US and have been doing well. And he is so proud to the point, he is funny and a bit strange. FIrst is that he is a bit too , over friendly but that is to be expected. The next, very very involved in the process. He likes to talk about how things are with me and whta I feel. He also keeps up with how much I lose and what I weigh at any given moment. He is better at remembering it then I am! Anyway, he has alreayd come up with a graph of what I will weigh at any given time this year. Too funny but in a weird way, usually he is so close. like, I will weigh myself on Monday and ask him, ok, guess how much i have lost. He gets so close it is uncanny! I think men are very fact and analytical and they are good with math and such. I am a ditz when it comes to that. Some people have asked me if that someitmes makes me nervous with him “breathing down my neck” but to be honest, it doesn’t. I really just ignore it most of the time. I am doing this for me and not for him so whatever happens, it is me and my body. That is really how I feel. Yes, it does provide a bit of motivation as to keep him proud but it still boils down to what makes me happy!

I am getting excited because I am getting so close to my mini goal. I weighed today but did not change my weight onsite yet. I want to wait till Monday and then do so. My daughter told me that my face was not round now so that tickled me! she is only six. But both kids know I am trying to lose weight and they are happy for me. I have a wedding to attend on May first and wish I could look really good for it but I know I will only be soso. BUT my brother in law’s wedding will be in Oct. and I know I will be down pretty good by then, I can’t wait!
