An unexpected NSV

My wife an I started this life change in January 2013. She has lost 118 lbs and I have lost a 105, I still have about 70 lbs to go. Next month we will celebrate our 23rd anniversary! I really hate the term "Journey", but, thats what this really has been. We have discovered a whole new life now together. So, my unexpected NSV, I don't know how it happened! We were just living our lives, going to work, taken care of the family, doing our little getaways every weekend and then BOOM!, it just hit me last week. I fell in love with my wife again!? It's know it's kind of weird, but I am not sure really how to handle it. I love her, I want to spend time with her, I want to make her happy all the time now. I wonder what the next year will bring!

    OMG! this is such a lovely post! Keep loving her. I fell in love with my husband again as well a year ago and we have been together 20 years as well. It is an amazing feeling and when I fell in love with him again he fell in love with me again too. We have never been happier and I can tell by your post that you are pretty happy too! This is awesome.

    Okay this made me tear up a little bit!! So sweet! You are a blessing to each other and it's wonderful that you recognize it. I am also lucky enough to be married to my best friend and, even though he was fit and athletic already, he has been my biggest cheerleader during my "journey" and we have walked this road together. Without him I don't know if I would have made it this far. Continued blessings as you move forward together! :flowerforyou: :heart:
