I have made so many lame attempts to lose weight in the last decade that I was reluctant to try again. But this time feels different. I am so ready to be healthier and I have been working at my new eating plan since March 1. Last night at dinner, my ever loving and supportive DH looked somewhat introspective. And then it hit me--is he concerned that I will quit on myself again? So I asked him and it was like I'd read his mind-I startled him by saying it aloud. And he admitted that from time to time he becomes concerned that I will give up. He told me he just wants me around for as long as he can possibly have me. We've been together over 30 years and he has never said anything like that to me before. I told him that I will do my best to keep on keeping on despite the plateaus and sore muscles and occasional scale disappointments. All he has to do is keep on loving me and encouraging me and hugging me. I think we have a deal!! And I think I'll keep him!! Next Saturday we will have been married 28 years and together 31.
This time feels different!
