Support System

mhoss101

I just wanted to take a moment and thank my husband for being my support system. Sometimes I forget that he is in this with me, watching me struggle to lose weight, wishing that he could swoop in and make my weight just disappear..

We went to the gym tonight where I tried the stair master for the first time ever.. yeah that wasn’t such a smart move.. after about 7 minutes I had to get off.. I switched to the treadmill and could only do about 19 minutes before my shin started killing me.. he could tell that I was headed towards a complete meltdown (I tend to overact in certain situations).. my eyes started welling up and he could tell that I was a millisecond from throwing in the towel and going home.. he pulled me to the side and said that he was proud of me for coming so far because three weeks ago I would have been sitting on the couch eating ice cream.. he then told me to put on my big girl panties so we can start our strength training.. he gave me a kiss on the forehead, a pat on the butt and gave me a moment to collect myself. We then proceeded to have a great workout together..

So thanks hubby, for being patient and kind and loving me no matter what size I am..

Ah what a sweet post

I have to say to you how awesome I think you did tonite, even attempting the stairmaster was brave let alone 7 minutes Hon:happy:

Ah and the treadmill, 19 minutes on your first time, great job, nothing to beat yourself up about with 19 minutes of the treadmill starting out:drinker: :drinker:

Keep it up you're succeeding:flowerforyou: :happy:

That's awesome. My hubby is very supportive and has also told me he is very proud of me for the things that I have done. He's more excited then I am about my 4 lbs! LOL. He's a great support and most days' I don't give him the proper appreciation for all he does to help me. THANKS BABE!
