Since starting my diet in January ive lost 18 pounds and i am now lighter than my partner and she is not happy with me. This has resulted in feirce competition between us, as to who can loose 3 stone first. We are getting married in December and hope to of lost the weight by then.
So i am feeling very smug at home right now
In the beginning of our marriage, my husband lost weight and I stayed fat. He had a lot of discipline, working out consistently and eating less.
Now I am dieting and eating less than my husband and he is struggling to control his snack tooth. While I am not at all into competing, I notice he seems to think that he'll somehow get on board and out do me. Only it hasn't happened so far. He's noticed the loss and is being very supportive, but I sense a jealousy too.
We do NOT push each other one way or the other. When he's ready, he'll take care of his weight gain. I refuse to be his food police and I never want himi to be mine. But we are quick to be positive re-enforcers of accomplishments and difficulties.
I've lost more than my husband. But he had less to lose than I did. I'm just glad I started losing before his weight matched mine! He's way too much taller than me to weigh what I do.
It's great you two have each other to go through this together. It helps tremendously. And a little healthy competition never hurt anyone.
