It is my 3 year anniversary with my boyfriend this month.

We have lived together for 2 1/2 years. I love him so much and his support and kindness has really gotten me through some tough times. Even if I feel scared (because of my health problems) or worthless or just plain ol' sad, he always makes me feel great about myself. He has never said ONE thing about my weight, and I have gained 40+ lbs since we started dating!

Just wanted to write this happy note because it really helps to have people in your corner. Sometimes I wish he were more strict with me (in helping me avoid bad foods, etc) but I realise it is MY life and MY goals, and I should be glad he supports and loves me at any weight!



I hope everyone out there has at least one special friend who makes their weight loss all the more... palatable.

all of your support and kindness, and the love I get from TOPS members, has helped me out a lot too, so thanks

Hi Motivation,

You are so right that it is up to us and us only. We have to make the goals and stick with them. And make the changes and actually do it.
But it is great that he is behind you. My husband loves me at any weight also. But sometimes that isn't good either. But we all need the support and for those that are lucky enough to have it at home that is even better. We just have to make sure we use the support that is there to help us. I never had the support either but hopefully that is changing here. My husband started the hollywood diet with me today again for 48 hours. So that is a huge thing to me that he is doing this for me. We talked about it and I just came out and said you have to support me.

So for those that have the support remember the support isn't any good if we are not going to help ourselves. We are the ones to put the food in our mouths not anyone else.

Good luck motivation and don't worry you will lose what you put on last week. Keep your chin held high and keep reaching for the stars. You will make it to goal with our help and yours.
