My husband "can't believe this is really happening."

Today I was frantically looking for a pair of smaller jeans I bought a few weeks ago knowing I would shrink into them. I was in my underwear and asked my husband if he had seen them. He just looked at me, smiled, and said, "I can't believe this is really happening." He told me he didn't expect me to ever get so serious about getting healthy, and that he loves me unconditionally but that he's pretty thrilled that I'm looking and feeling so good these days. It felt good to hear. It was nice to know he was okay with me being a pudgy mom of three but even better to hear how proud he is of me. Even at 240lbs nine months pregnant with our third baby he would tell me I was beautiful, but I obviously knew he was just saying it to be sweet. It's such a different feeling hearing it and almost actually believing it! :smile:

    You are doing amazing and must be proud of yourself. It is always nice to have those closest to us boost us up too. Being mom to smaller children I think often adds to the difficulty of losing weight because our pantry is filled with pop tarts, sugary cereals and so on, so Great job Mom !!! Hubby sounds like a keeper too. Thanks for sharing :)

    The jeans are still MIA. I'm baffled.
