Daily Post--1/25/08

My husband has been great! He took such good care of me when I came home from the hospital and has been very encouraging. He's trying to lose the last 10 pounds he has from a 65 pound weight loss three years ago, so we go to the gym together, and our son goes with us. He's been ok with all the food changes (we eat a lot more fish now). He and I are working together to make the second half of our lives healthier and more productive than the first.

My husband is living in korea so i can't really say if he's supportive or not. He never opposed it and he does ask about my progress every once in while. But i think he knows my weight is a sensitive topic so he avoids it.. lol .. poor guy. I think he'll be more supportive once i join him and we actually see eachother everyday .. he likes outdoor sports and he's already invited me to go snowboarding when i get my butt to korea .. kinda sounds scary .. but i'd like to try it, who knows, i might surprise myself right? At my highest weight i would not have even consider it so hopefully doing things like this together will help me loose the weight faster and sharing in these experiances will also bring us closer.

First let me say there has never been confidence issues with me. My mom raised me and my brother that big is beautiful. This is one of the reasons I believe my personality has not changed. (I have asked others and they say no change either) My spouse is so very supportive and says I have not changed except in my energy. He can tell I feel so better. He cooks meals that are for me. In the begining I had to beg him to eat in front of me because he didn't want to make it hard for me. He makes me get off of the couch and go to the gym. He will tell me - You know you will regret it if you don't go. He tells me to get off of the scale (because sometimes I want to weigh every day). Once a week he asks me to weigh and applauds my loss. We went to the river boat and I walked miles and he was so proud. He talked about it for days.

My hubby is great, he's been there with me every step of the way. I could not have done this without his support.

my husband is very supportive and encourages me as much as he can, he just doesn't see my progress so he doesn't quite understsand yet. The reason he doesn't see my progress is that I dont let him. He is currently overseas and hasn't seen recent pics. When he sees me it will be in June and will be almost a year and he will be very suprised and hopefully very pleased. we'll see.

My husband was the most amazing man during my surgery, complications & 2 week hospital stay. We have 2 children who at the time were just turning 3 and 18 months. During the time I was in the hospital we had a major snow storm and a major flood. At one point he had to go an hour out of the way of the already 1 hour drive just to get to me in the hospital. He was my rock and without him I would not have had the courage to fight like I did. Now, he doesn't comment much. He comments on my bones that he can now feel. But never says I look good. He's been wanting me to maintain since about Christmas and 15 pounds ago. My support comes from my co-workers who have become friends. Most of my family makes absolutely NO comment. Sad...I'm very hurt most of the time.

My husband has been so supportive through the whole process! He's amazing!!!!

I get asked this a lot "So what does your husband think of all this?". Honestly, I have no clue, he doesn't really say anything about it. He is supportive in that he tries to cook things I can eat, choose restaurants that will have food for me, makes sure I'm taking my vits and such, drinking enough water, exercising. But really, he doesn't comment unless I ask him a direct question. I do know he's not a fan of some clothes I can wear now. He says they're just not me, even though they're adorable! I think he is a fan of the few lingerie items I've bought though. Denise

MY B/f has been so supportive. He went on a diet and did not want me to bring any food in the home that both of us could not eat. I am taking a cruise in Feb and I am taking my daughter and he encouraged it. He did not get funny about me going on a single cruise with my daughter at all.. HEs been wonderful!!!

My husband was supportive of me losing weihgt but he still has a problem when I bring up things I want to go and do or the idea of who I want to go out and do those things with. I tell him I want to make more friends and he automatically assumes that it means I want to meet men. My husband isn't into doing as much as I am and he isn't adventurous once so ever so that makes some tension between us and I feel that he is trying to hold me back. Michelle
