My Husband...my boyfriend

My husband and I have been married for many, many, MANY years...he's always been so good to me, always. Even as my weight ballooned up and up and UP over the years (after we started having children late in life), he's never criticized nor really complained about my looks and always brought home my favorites chocolates, goodies and all kinds of fattening treats for me, because he knew I loved them. He's (of course) still almost the exact same slim and trim size and as handsome as when we were in High School, and looks even better now then he did way back when. Even though he's my husband, I've always called him my "boyfriend" too.

Well, things are changing in him, something fabulous these days of my shrinking. He's telling me things that he NEVER has before, although he never complained about my weight, he never really verbally expressed himself the way he's been doing everyday now. He's now telling me things that are so tender and encouraging and romantic. He's really acting like the childhood sweetheart that he was many moons ago, and it's mind blowing and sooooo terrific. He and the family have totally forsaken the ways of our past S.A.D. Diet (Standard American Diet) and are eating healthy and going along with tasting, eating and drinking the "weird" stuff I am. He's no longer bringing home "baddies/so-called goodies" and treats anymore and is now bringing home my new love goodies (Organic fruits and veggies and healthy stuff for me and HIM and the kids)!!!!!

I heard him tell the children last night, (I went to bed while they watched a movie) "mommy's on a mission and we all have to do everything in our power to help mom out more and more around here and make her life easier so that she can concentrate more on what's she's doing and to keep her happy as we can and at peace because SHE"S REALLY LOOKING GOOD".

WHAT?????? Even though I've been I call my husband my boyfriend for years, he's really more and more turning into my boyfriend and I LOVE IT!!!! Wow, this lifestyle change is bringing in tremendous benefit, far more than kicking ugly excess pounds and inches to the pit where they belong, but also PEACE and LOVE is coming right along with it--WOA, that's a super duper NSV for and to me.

    Ahhhh, I love this post. Sounds like you got yourself a good man!
  • That is so romantic! He sounds like a really nice guy. Keep staying awesome on your weight loss journey!
    My husband has been out of state working for the past 2 1/2 months. He comes back home the the end of this month and I am hoping to surprise him with a 15 ish pound weight loss. He to has never said anything as I have put on weight from having 4 kids in 5 years. ( my kids are 7,6,3&2. I am 36.)
