Spouse weight loss?

I had surgery 2 months ago. My husband is super supportive and super encouraging and all that. So much so, that he's changed his eating habits along with me! 

The problem is I'm so jealous of him. I go to the lengths of having surgery to accomplish my, so far, 35+ pound weight loss. While he just, poof, loses 16 pounds along side me! 

Great for him! Great for us! We're getting healthy together. But something in me is jealous. Jealous of how easy it is for him, jealous of him stealing my thunder, I don't know. I know I shouldn't be. I just am. Psst. 

That's OK.  I don't even know him but I'm a little pissed at him too!  He's a guy, and in general they have an easier time losing than we do.  It's not his fault but I think he should wear puffy clothes and not get on the scale when you can see.

One of my partners started swimming and changing his diet about the same time I did pre-op.  I've lost 130 pounds now and, while he lost really fast initially, he's lost about 40 pounds in the same time period. And he's loosing maybe a pound a month now.  So, don't worry, you'll probably leave your partner in the dust ;)

I'd be dancing in the streets if my husband lost that much weight because he was trying to encourage me! Get over yourself and encourage him to lose as much as he needs to. Remember, he doesn't have the sleeve to help him through some of the trying times ahead. He may gain it all back. That would be a tragedy.

"Get over yourself!" Ha. Good one. Thanks to the gals who understand and empatize. ;) We all have our own struggles to bear. 

Guys suck don't they!?! haha

Truth is he will not match your weight loss. They tend to lose a lot quickly in the beginning, but after a month or two it will slow and you will blow him away!. So happy that he took these steps with you though!

I think it's great.. If he's enoucuraging you to stay focuse   that means less temptation in the home.. Although my husbands says he's encouraging me.. he's not when he brings home ice cream cookies and pizza.. 

He is a guy. The sneeze they loose, 

My BF  slightly changed his diet. He lost 20 lbs.. I lost 5 lbs really trying.  He is a guy. 

Hubby wants to lose 20-30 lbs. He weighed in about 20 lbs higher than he thought he was at his last PCP visit and I think it kinda shocked him. We shall see what happens.

So not fair, but he's a guy, they generally lose weight easier & faster than a woman does, but it's really cool that he's supportive of you in your weight loss., totally understand the jealousy, but get over it & keep it movin, don't let anyone steal your thunder!
