The goal is in sight and My husband was having a hard time adjusting
I am so close I can almost taste it. My goal of a BMI of 22 is only 7.5 pounds away. Right now I weigh 161.5 and I want to get to 154. I really think that I can do this. Last year this time I never would have thought that this would happen. I am so strong and so healthy right now it feels strange. When I remember back to how it felt to be me at 200 pounds I can’t believe I ever found the motivation to do anything about it. I was always tired and lethargic. I have energy to spare now. I know I am tooting my own horn a bit here, but I am sometimes shocked by the changes in me. My husband gets freaked out alot lol. At one point he told me he wanted his lumpy wife back, he was having a hard time getting used to the one with the harder body. So weird, but our sex life actually suffered for a while, because he could not get used to me looking so different and having a higher level of confidence. I think things are getting back on track.
those of you who are married or with a significant other. How have they reacted to changes in you?
Nothing wrong with tooting your own horn. You have accomplished something you can be extremely proud of! I had to laugh about what you wrote about your hubby because only last week mine told me that he wanted his jolly big wife back. I was being extremely cranky at that time and have been for a while ( I go through bouts of depression and forgetting to take my ‘happy pills’ doesnt help lol) So like you I can look at myself in amazement someetimes and like you my hubby has to get used to it too. Its all good though… its a new reality.
