Since I was her "first reader" and helped her polish her stories, I was thrilled she won. Which puzzled the heck out of her and she asked me why I was so happy. I told her (honestly) that the minute they called <I>her</I> name, I won, too!<BR/><BR/>It's the same with you and Thomas, I think. Every single pound he loses is part yours.

YOU are setting the exercise schedule. YOU are counting the Points. YOU are shopping and cooking. If you're in a race, hon, you're on your opponent's pit crew! If what you said is true, yeah, he may be losing faster than you, but you're as responsible for HIS weight loss as your own. Sure, he could be choosing not to do this with you. He could be tossing packs of HoHos in the shopping cart when you go to the store. He doesn't do that, and that's fantastic. But you said it yourself: he would NOT be doing this without you. He's walking this path with you-- maybe getting ahead sometimes-- but it's a path that *your* choice put you both on.<BR/><BR/>So, you've lost... *10* dress sizes, is it now? You've achieved over 40 pounds of steady, healthy weight-loss, you have a permanent and fantastically supportive partner to do it with you, and you're getting a leaner, healthier, sexier husband in the process. And-- oh, yeah, let's not forget-- you're setting an amazing example for your daughter, and giving her habits *she* can live with for a long time to come. You ARE winning. So tell that stupid whiny guy in your head to shut the heck up already.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380136761770650017.post-15042189401505488842008-07-22T11:49:00.000-04:002008-07-22T11:49:00.000-04:00Congrats on your loss so far!!

I don't understand it either, but...I do get it.<BR/><BR/>It's great to have someone keeping you company on the journey. But how to avoid inevitable comparisons?

And then I wondered if it was a trick your WW leader had told you, like, when having ice cream with your fat friends, take smaller bites (cf: using the sample spoon instead of the regular one) and stop eating when they do.<BR/><BR/>If it's not, it should be. ;-)<BR/><BR/>--CarolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
