Approaching a different set of numbers..
| Wed, 11-10-2004 - 11:00am |
on the scale that is. I started in the 80's now I am hitting the 40's. I try to do the baby steps thing, so each set of numbers is an increment that I have accomplished. I am going on Friday morning to get my body fat tested. I do believe my home Tanita scale is all messed up. I keep it in the bathroom, the weight part is consistent, but the bf% is screwey. It just can't be right, seriously.
I am wearing a pair of my 31x32s that I have been eyeing for some time. I actually weigh less now than I did when I got prego with Ray. She was #4. Strange enough, I was really happy back then and felt sexy. Now I am just riding myself to the very last pound, wondering if that will make me feel "sexier" or if it from somewhere else I need to draw that conclusion. Dh adn i have been fighting like cats and dogs. We actually spent several nights apart over the last week and I am in the midst of doing alot of soul searching right now.
Hmmm...sorry, maybe TMI, but my bf in the world is in France (bad timing :-() and I am rambling....
So.....almost in teh 40's. I am going to be optimistic!

I'd love the option of putting two emoticons here ;-)
First off-
~~CONGRATULATIONS~~
Michelle that's terrific about the numbers on the scales,
and good luck on Friday with calculating your BF%!
Second of all-
{{HUGS}}
Sorry to hear you and dh are going through a rough patch.
Here's hoping that things smooth out soon for you both!

Hey Michelle, I'm sending you some big hugs right now!!!
Hugs, Michelle...I don't have a lot of advice, I'm just letting you know that like you were told...there is no such thing as TMI here!
Hey Michelle, if you were a gym bunny when you were "single" and he sees a renewed committment to your fitness routine, he may be thinking that you are looking to recapture that part of your life, including the single part.
As for DH, both of you will find your way back to each other again. Men need reassurance that they're #1 in their wive's lives.
I think he should be proud of you rather than insecure about your feelings toward him. Is he overweight? If so, maybe he feels that he isn't going to be worthy of your affections and that you'll think less of him because he isn't making an effort to get fit.

Ladies, thanks so much! I have seen other points of view that I may have been upset hearing from dh, thinking he was just being insecure.
Michelle, I'm glad you saw another couple viewpoints.... maybe you'll be better armed to air things out and smooth over them!
I'll play devil's advocate on this one...him being insecure is a bit natural.
