He wants to gain 20 lbs and I want to lose 20 lbs
My honey is Kenyan and built like one: 6′4″ tall, lean, natural muscles, six pack abs. When I met him he was lean but on the skinny side at 160lbs. Within the 7 months we’ve been together he gain 22 lbs and very proud of it. Everyone including his mom tells me he looks much better, fuller face, healthier and it’s all because of me :). The other night he told me he wants to gain another 20 lbs and he is set. Where is the weight going? I don’t know ??? as he has very little fat on him like 10% if even that.
I on the other hand continued to gain weight in the 7 months until last month when I started back on buddyslim. One of my motivation to lose weight is to be a “hottie” on his arm. Just kidding, I just wanted to us to be a nice looking couple. How was that gonna happen if he’s lean and sexy and I’m fat and short? It’s like the odd couple; anyhow, I saw us the other day in passing a store window and we don’t look too bad. Although he is still not on board, as my mother is in terms of wanting me to lose weight. Everyone keeps telling me - oh, you’re at a nice size again don’t get any smaller. SO I appreciate this website because I am getting the support that I don’t always get from my family.
Once he gains the 20 lbs and I lose my 20 lbs I would be one happy woman. He wants to buy another bikini outfit for me so I said, by it in a medium - my goal is to fit it in by mid June.
I am totally on board with you, Nancy! (I do agree with the family that you look awesome, but you have to be happy with you, right?)
My dh isn’t tall and thin, but he definitely fit. I hate the thought that people look at us and think, “Why is he with her?” I want people to look at us and think “They are a good match!”
Good luck with that bikini!
Stick to your goals girl. It sounds like you have your priorities straight.
