My husband is a full foot taller than me. He weighs himself in the evenings hoping he has gained a few!
I have been too ashamed to tell him that i weigh a few pounds more than he does now. I'm sure he knows though.
Over the last year, I've gained almost 50 lbs back due to not paying attention, giving up, and being majorly stressed out over a new promotion at work. I confessed three mornings ago, in bed, and in the midst of a lot of self-loathing tears. He hugged me and told me that I will do it this time. It was hard telling him the truth, but I do feel emotionally lighter having done so.
He knows now what my weight is but we both didn't new what my weight was in 2007...when i had the guts to step on the scale i told him and he didn't look surprise, even though he's a foot taller than me and he was 30-40 lbs lighter back then
**** no. He's a tad under 6ft and weighs 135-140. (He's a martial artist so it's all lean muscle!! Lucky!) He could really care less how much I weigh, and he thinks I'm fine the way I am, but supports me because he knows losing weight will make me happier.
Actually, one of the things that spurred me on to this weight loss journey was finding myself being cagey about this question during a conversation with my husband. But we did this weight loss thing together, and as he designed the computer spreadsheet to track our loss and do a five day average for me (...at my request.), he knew all the way down and still knows exactly what I weigh and I know exactly what he weighs. It probably helps that I keep a chart in my bathroom that I put a dot on every morning when I weigh. In fact, he is more concerned about me going under my red line on the bottom end -- and getting to thin -- than he ever was about me being overweight. He has lived with me through my last big weight loss and maintenance in my late twenties when I lost +- 50 pounds and maintained it for 4 years (Right before we had kids)...and I was, oh, just a tad obsessive that time and got pretty thin...down to Size 2, not eating much of anything, and working out 2 hours a day...and I think he is worried I will do that again. I won't. I am older and smarter and more interested in my "health" this time around, but I think internally he is concerned about it, and he loves me.
I don't have an SO. I have told any friends or family who asked how much I've lost. But I don't think I ever said my high weight. I guess I am still a little sensitive about it, although not about saying how much I've lost. I know, doesn't really make sense. I'm not sure I've mentioned my current weight either, so it's not like the math is completely obvious either. I'd actually like to say my current weight, I like it, but without being actually asked, I won't, because I don't want to be obnoxious about the weight loss thing.
Mine has never asked. I would like to believe I will be honest if he does.
I haven't actually said how much I am losing either, just that i am working on it. I don't want the pressure of how much loss and how fast. I am content for it to go slowly.
Interesting thread.
Btw: I often leave my posts up on the computer so I am not actively hiding it. we just don't discuss it. He is just positive about my eating healthier.
He will always come for a walk if i want company.
Yes. A big step for me, in committing to my diet and staying committed was to admit my starting weight - which ashamed me. Once he knew I weighed near 300 pounds, when he likely thought I weighed 100 pounds less - I felt that I HAD to keep going. He didn't/doesn't care a bit, loves me no matter what... it was pressure placed upon myself by myself.
These days he knows what I weigh everyday, I keep a calendar hanging in the bathroom with my weight noted on it each day.
It was hard for me to tell my SO, but I did it and now he knows my weight. Of course I was 300+ pounds then...lol. I'm happier and feeling more "light" now that I've been upfront and honest about it. Besides, I don't like to keep things from my SO, so there ya go.
I didn't openly talk about my weight in numbers but it really didn't matter, we are married and intimate and no magic giant shirt or stretch pant covered the fact that I was morbidly obese...he knew I was fat. After I finally got under 300 I discuss numbers with him, and he did not act surprised...He is proud of me, and tells me often.
So every time I do my body test, my BMI and weight flash on a giant screen in my living room (we use a data projector for a TV).
Same here. Our Wii is hooked up to our projector, so everytime I weigh myself (when DH isn't deployed), he sees what I weigh. But that means he also sees the little weight history showing what I've lost.
Of course I was 300+ pounds then...lol. I'm happier and feeling more "light" now that I've been upfront and honest about it. Besides, I don't like to keep things from my SO, so there ya go.
