He had an “ah ha” moment and I’m free as a bird
Thank you so much to everyone who supported me through my fried jumbo shrimp ordeal. Could you imagine if I caved in and ate 1 1/2 pound of fried shrimp? What a disaster - but averted because I have you guys to support me.
So over the weekend, my other half, the love of my life FINALLY had an ah ha moment. When I came back home from being at the gym for 3 hours on Saturday, he looked and me and said, “You really like working out huh? It’s like how I feel about speeding.” That, my dear friends, is what I needed. Yesssss! He gets it - he finally has. That I go to the gym to workout out, not socialize for the most part, not goof off but to sweat and stay healthy. He finally understands that it’s my alone time and I enjoy it so much. I get a rush from working out and it gives me a sense of pride and accomplishment with each session. I challenge myself to go harder, get in another minute when I think I can’t do it anymore, to do an extra set of chest presses when my arms and chest are shaking - it’s the thrill of knowing that I am a challenger and a winner. Three hours is alot of time to him to spend there but for me it feels like it’s only been minutes since I entered the facility.
I hope in time he accepts my weightloss and start telling me I’m beautiful again instead of telling me he misses my fat. Hey, one day at a time right? For now it feels good knowing that he’s starting to accept my enjoyment in working out.
Wonderful!! Wish my bf would get a clue how working out makes ME feel. I’m very happy for you!
I’m glad you stuck to what you wanted and didn’t give in to his selfish need. and I’m glad he opened his eyes to yours. That’s what makes a relationship work.
Baby steps! Glad he “got” it.
It’s nice when your other half gets it and gets on the support wagon isn’t it.
Nancy, it sounds like he is getting there. That is great that it clicked for him! I am glad you enjoy exercise so much something so beneficial to you!! You are a phenomenal woman - I am sure he knows what he has don’t worry about that!
that’s awesome. 3 hours is along time for him i’m sure. i sometimes have to explain why i need 30 min! i’m happy for you:))
Wow, Nancy good job! Its hard to turn away from good food, and you did it. I’m very proud of you girlie. Keep up the good work.
Well YAY!!!! That’s so good. I know that this little bit of difference means a whole lot more.
