Take my husband, PLEASE!

My wonderful hubby also met me as a heavy person, loves me anyway, and is so excited "with me" for how well I am doing now. Chelle 291/261/145

Excuse me for being crude, unladylike and downright discusting but..... If he is going to count the $15,000 green backs, tell him you count up to 2 everynight you both get "intimate"...aka "two-pump chump!" I'm sure for a while, everything will be measured in $numbers in your family until he manages to throw a sincere compliment your way. Then again, is he trying to suppress your spirit because he is AFRAID you'll get thin and LEAVE him? There's some food for thought! Catherine

Yeah I have no problem husband bashing but I'm extreamly spiteful so I won't suggest what I would do to the poor man. XD But I will say that his new bed would be the couch >.>

First, Congrats on losing 32 lbs. That's awesome. Don't let his comments get you down - he could be fearful that you're starting to look good and you will start to get more male attention than he's comfortable with. Plus, there's no price tag on how good you must look and feel. If the $$$ didn't come out of his pocket (assuming insurance paid for it), what's he care how much it cost? Do something nice for yourself, put ex-lax in his Chocolate Chip Cookies, make sure you forget to buy Toilet Paper, go out with a girlfriend and laugh at the discomfort he must be going thru. Keep up the good work - you're worth it!!!

hi, i lost 50 pounds in a period of 3 years, which is slow. my husband absolutely did not notice , even when i asked. i have had to learn that the battle and the win is with me and for me only. maybe next time tell him that you prefer not to tell me your loss until you are ready, meaning a safe time for you. as i get older and i am 57, i protect myself more and more,and like myself more and more. i wish i had done this in my younger years. i could have saved myself a lot of heartache, not looking to others for approval and validation, but to me only for approval and validation. you pretty much know your hubby and pretty much can calculate his responses, so again, protect yourself. i am pre-op and i think that is a great weight loss. would you have accomplished that without a band in the same amount of time? if your answer is" probably not", then it is a success!! good luck, sally

Ex-lax in the cookies....no toilet paper....hahahha.....hide the bathroom towels!! Be sure to call him when you're with the girls and tell him your car broke down and could he come get you!!! Give him a route with no gas station bathrooms! Then show up home...you know...you got the car running...and darn! You forgot to get bathroom toilet paper! hahaa.

This is GREAT! All you guys make me feel sooooo much better. Cheryl

Cheryl, This calls for some team work! Do you want one of use to call your house and claim to have gotten pregnant by your husband? We could pull a "Fatal Attraction" number on him and send him jumping into your arms! hahahhaha Catherine

OMG, I am laughing like crazy. I know he can be a jerk. He knows he can be too. I love you guys! Cheryl

My hubby doesn't mess with me too much any more, although he does go on the war path sometimes. A few years back my hubby had a bad habit of getting into the tub and falling asleep. So one night after waking him up several times I got fed up with it. I needed a bath also and was po'd big time. Well, we lived in an old house where the tub got very cold. I pulled the plug, turned off the heat and turned every light in the house off. I shut all the doors also. Then went to bed. A little while later I heard an awful racket in the bath room and beating & knocking noise. FINALLY the bedroom door opened and hubby said in a very chattering voice to me: did you turn out the heat?? You betcha. Amazing how 10 years later he'll take a shower over a bath any day.... As for my hubby, he spent years doing everything he could to destroy my self esteem but in spite of him I've gotten things done around here and now days I just consider the source, let it flow between my ears and then do what I want to do. If he doesn't like it then I just tell him that I can go somewhere else to live. Doesn't matter to me at all any longer. Funny how they give you attention when you lose your desire to want to be anywhere near them. hugss GrannyLaLa
