    I do get that it is a confidence issue. He is worried that he will lose me, which is so dumb. I have always been overweight since we met and married 20 years ago. He never knew the Skinny Me.

    It is just silly cuz my hubbie is pretty hot for his age. He is 63, looks 53. He works out every single day that I have known him. He has arms and a chest that No One would be ashamed of. He is very fit, mostly eats healthy (plus the candy bars...). and he does understand that I have diabetes, high blood pressure, and hypothyroidism. He knows I am doing this for my health....but he just gets crazy sometimes and worries that I will leave, I guess.

    He will retire in a few months. Now WHY would he think I would want to start life over with someone else? Just silly. Men are just silly sometimes......and I promise not to strangle him with my newfound weight-lifting strength !

    My husband passed away two years ago, I wish he was here to see what I've accomplished. When I had lost weight in the past, he was very supportive and was more attentive and appreciative of my efforts. He would enjoy it if another man paid some attention to me, knowing that I would be going home with him, not the guy flirting with me. He definitely was secure in our relationship---God I miss him!!

    But on another note, I saw a female acquaintance that I hadn't seen for several months last week. She noted how much weight I had lost, asked me if I was feeling all right, as if the only reason I would lose weight would be if I were sick. I told her I was fine. Then she proceeded to ask me if I was "seeing someone". I told her that I was not, as if that would be the reason why I've lost weight. Why is it so hard to believe that I made choices to lose weight and get healthier for ME and me alone!!!
