Lost/regained 20 pounds in 2008...
 

Hi everyone!

Ok, so I have a bit of a rant here. I recently moved to Nebraska from the west coast (hence the username) and gained back the twenty pounds I had lost earlier this spring before I moved. I am 5'7", and currently weigh 165 pounds. I was 145 when I moved here.

Anyways, I met my boyfriend after moved here and steadily gained the weight over the months (mostly due to social drinking and stress from the move). Recently, he made a comment asking if my hips had gotten larger. Not only that, a few days ago I got a soda and he looked at me skeptically and asked, "do you -really- need that?"

Man, I must really be the cow. So, yeah. I am here to end the rant right now and hop to losing this weight. Thanks for listening!

I hope we are only seeing the worst of your boyfriend. I will give him the BOD that his intentions aren't hurtful, but at a time like this he needs to be as supportive and loving as he can - that's the only way you'll be able to make a positive change, with a loving support net.

In any case, welcome welcome! You're going to love it here!

And I know what you mean about moving from the west coast to rural nowhere... haha. Tell me about it.

Really? You too? Where is your middle-of-nowhere? LOL.

He really is a nice guy in many respects - I did not mean to paint him as a controlling, shallow person who cares only about the superficial (although he has that streak from time to time, unfortunately). Otherwise he is great. I want to lose this 20 pounds and then some, anyways. It sucks. Thanks for the welcome. :)
