So, far I have stuck to the diet ... and no one has been killed in the process. This is a good thing. I had to run out to the store and replace my frozen celery last night. I think I will have to keep my celery in the big fridge. It's not likely that anyone is going to steal my celery. The lowfat string cheese, the SF jello, those types of things I will have to threaten lives to keep the kids away...but celery should be safe.
My husband has informed me that we are going to visit his Dad for labor day weekend. It's going to take some planning for me to pull off eating right that weekend. His Dad lives in the middle of nowhere. I may have to go out and buy a cooler and bring things with me. I can see my husband rolling his eyes now and whining...do we have to take all this crap, can't you just take a break from this diet thing? You don't need to loose weight...and while its sweet that he loves me regardless of size, it makes me crazy. I don't want him badgering me about my size, that would not be a good thing. But if he could be supportive by encouraging me to do the right things, vs. telling me to take a break or saying I don't need to loose weight. I am not loosing weight for him, its not even remotely about him. It's about feeling comfortable and healthy in my own skin. And just because it isn't always easy to stick to the diet, doesn't mean it isn't worth it to do the extra planning and make the effort. Easy and lazy got me where I am, uncomfortable in my own skin. I have tried to explain this to him, but those lovely rose colored glasses are on tight when he looks at me. We must honestly see two different people when it come to my appearance.

Oh JB...I know exactly how you feel. I know how it feels when you look in the mirror or when your walking to your car and you can see your reflection. I'm not happy in my skin right now either and that's why I'm doing it too. My BF feels I look fine and is very happy with me...but as you know, I'm not. So, here I am, with you, cheering you on. And although he's not telling me that I can take breaks, right now I can't listen to anyone who's not on the same page. As you said, you need to do this for you. So, if you have to take a little cooler and bring some jello and a couple of celery sticks and some chicken, you'll know in the long run you'll be much better off for it. Do you think sometimes that maybe your husband might be a little scared that you're doing all this and that maybe you might not want him anymore? I know thats alot of psycho babble, but sometimes people derail you on a diet because they're afraid of how its going to affect them...not you.
I'm here to say that you can do it...and so will I!

that is awesome how he loves yo no matter what that is an amazing guy, mine loves me for me but would also like to see me healthier for us both. Maybe instead of packing before hand you can go to the store when you get there and plan the meals for everyone S.B. friendly that is. Trust me I have made everything S.B. friendly for the week and my guy has taken alittle of everything with him to eat for work.Don't give them a choice and they will fall right in with you

My husband is convinced that anything green (except peas) must be evil. He is as bad as the kids when it comes to his eating habits. My husband doesn't like skinny women. He doesn't find them attractive. And that's good for me, my skinny days are gone ... that's not what I am shooting for. I want to be healthy. It would be great if I could get back to 130, but if that is a chore to maintain than I will make the mental adjustment and find a weight that works for me. I want to feel healthy and attractive, but I don't want to be in a situation where its hard work to maintain the weight. If I have no wiggle room and must remain on phase 1 to keep the weight off, than that's not the right weight for me. My husband thinks that I am too hard on myself, when it comes to my weight, my house, my kids, etc. So, he tells me to take a break because he looks at the diet as work and he wants me to relax and enjoy life. The part that is missing for him is that this is work right now, because it's new. I am hoping to make this a permanent lifestyle change, to eat better and take better care of myself. So, in the begining I have to be more rigid and work harder at it, but eventually it will be second nature and then it will be easier to relax.
