My Damn wife..

Options
Ever have a spouse that is not supportive at all, that seems to not even care about trying to eat right?

well, I have experienced that in the past with other people too, but I just want to say how simply amazing it is to have a wife that loves me, supports me and is a diet and exercise MACHINE.

she is up and on the way to the gym at 4:30am every day, she makes eating right easy (and fun) pats me on the back on good days, and encourages me on the bad days. I just wanted to share how happy I am to share my life with someone so amazing. I do hope that I give her the support and encouragement she needs to, and that she feels the joy and Love that I feel for her.

we can all be positive influences to others, and perhaps share what we have learned. I have shared my experiences when people ask, but try to not become a one dimensional person that ONLY talks about diet/exercise non-stop. If I know someone is fighting the same battles that I have, I try to support and encourage (but not give excuses). I know some people just do not want to hear it, but loosing (or gaining) weight is very simple.. eat sensible meals, avoid junk, avoid calorie containing beverages, track your calories, and get your butt off the couch and get in gear. simple steps anyone can follow, but some are just not ready to hear it will take some work at this point in their lives.

anyway. dont want to be preachy, just wanted to express my deep respect and love for my wife.

    I think I might have to hurt my husband if we woke up at 4:30am every day.

    Just because he told us doesn't mean he doesn't tell her too.... from the sound of it, he probably tells her everyday!!! It's great to see a couple working so well together!! Wish the both of you the best!!! (=

    It's great. When I first started this whole thing my wife had just given birth to our second. Naturally she was a little jealous of my losses. Before long she was right there with me though and together we've lost 98lbs or so.
