what do i do?
| Mon, 07-31-2006 - 4:28pm |
my lovely darling of 8 months keeps telling me he doesn't want me to shed the pounds. but i keep telling him i want to look better for him. he says i'm perfect the way i am and need to stop being obsessive about what i eat. now.. he says that if i want to keep going with this "need to not feed", he will support me, but he'd rather keep me the way i am.
what? hmm.. dang it

You do what's best for you, of course!
And it sounds like ultimately your beau will be accepting of the new healthier you as well as the "you" he first fell for. It could just be a little momentary insecurity on his part... or he may even be worried about "the girls" shrinking. Ah, men! The lovely creatures.
I, however, am not so accepting or adaptable. You are young and lovely (I've seen your photos, remember?), and I want you to spare yourself the possible health problems and angst of being overweight even for another year or two. I know this is a tough journey, but I would really like to see you stay with it. And you know we'll be here for you. So what do you say?

i've lost ab out 10 pounds in the last month or so. (which i probably gained back with the,.. not so good eating weekend i just had. personally i'm thinking how i'll look in a wedding dress. i know it's years off and i pray to God we last, because i see this man in my future, i'm quite healthy right now, even though i am.. extremly overweight. everything checks out perfect besides the weight. i assured him if i ever get to "drop dead sexy" (which he says i'm atcurrently) i won't run off with some scuba diver instructor name carlos or anything like that. he loves me for who i truely am, inside outside and flipside, i just want to look better for him. (and be drop dead sexy) i'm not looking for much. i'd be happy with a size 16 (currently i'm a 20/22 at lane bryant). so i dunno. i'm doing this so the scale reflects how i see myself inside.

i could use to get some baggae off the ladies.. if you know what i mean, I'd like to be in the single D range sometime soon and not a size applied to cartoon graphics.
currently i love the fact i can BOLT up my stairs at home and not even get all huffy and puffy. couldn't do that when i moved in during may.
ok this is what i want. i want to be able to run at my man and jump into his arms. yes i know this says cheesy romantic chick flick all over it. but i want to do the spinny i haven't seen you in a long time and i'm picking you up from the airport kind of hug. that's my goal. what weight is that? no idea. but the day it happens will be great.

Audrey,
If the "spinny kinda airport hug" is cheesey then I am right there with you. I too want my dh to be able to pick me up and stuff like that. I mean he could pick me up if he had to but I want him to be able to do it without

He's an adorable man!
How about telling him you're doing it for your health and not your looks. And to have more energy and you're glad you can go up
