A WOW moment...

Hi guys..It's been a while since I've been on the boards. Been busy living life...you know how it is. Just had to share a moment I had over the weekend with everyone. I was at my mom's this weekend (she's 5'8 and weighs 122 lbs) and she asked me what size I was in. I told her I thought I was probably in size 8's because all my clothes are falling off of me again and most of them are 10's. Mom said she bet I was smaller than that and had me come in the house to try on some of her clothes. Mom was kinda forced to diet with my father all last year and lost about 15 lbs so all her fall clothes are too big on her now. Anyway, she pulled out this size 7/8, sleeveless, over the knee cut dress that looked incredibly small. The dress has a double breasted long jacket that goes over the top of it. I told mom there was no way I could fit in it. I just don't see myself as being that small. Well, guess what. It was a perfect fit!!! I was so overjoyed you just wouldn't believe it!!! She ended up giving me about 10 outfits and they all are so cute. Some of the clothes were 6's and they all fit and look great. I told mom before I left that evening that I'd be in her size by next summer so she better save those 4's and 2's she's wearing now if she put back on anymore of her weight cause I wanted them. Everybody got a good laugh out of that because I've never been smaller than my mom. So, that was my wow moment for the month I guess...they seem to be occuring more frequently lately. On the down side, my husband just hates the weight loss. When I got home and showed him my new clothes he said he didn't like them. I looked good in them and it just kills him. He's so jealous of everything. I never dreamed he'd be such an a_ _ over my weight loss. I was smaller than I am now when we got married and he was never the jealous type. Now he doesn't want me to go anywhere, have friends, etc. I quit going to the gym about 3 weeks ago because he was convinced I was looking a new man when I went. Believe me, I go at 5:30 am and there is no one there at that time of day but old folks and terribly overweight men. I started back yesterday just to stir the fire. I'm so sick of his attitude.

You go girl! I am still a week out from being on the losing side and can't wait to see the difference. As far as your husband is concerned I am also worried about that. I have always been overweight. I wore a size 22 wedding dress 21 years ago. So I am sure that this will be a test on our marriage. I don't think the 2nd quessing will be on my part but his. I realize he found me attractive when I was big so how petty would I have to be to find someone else when ( hopefully I am small). Those men were not interested in me then and my husband was. So I hope things get better for you regarding him. Tell him you love him and that you were faithful prior to this, your body has changed not your character.
