It’s all up to me

I have been AWOL for a while which typically means 1 thing when you’re dieting…you fell off the wagon.  We went on vacation last week and it showed.  But the good news is that not only am I dieting this time, my husband decided to join me.  This will eliminate some of the problems I usually have because when I am trying to find something healthy to eat I have to stare past his potato chips, chocolate, etc.  I have wanted him to diet with me for such a long time and finally struck up the nerve to bring it up.  Instead of approaching it from a weight-loss point of view I tried his health.  Lately he has been very tired even if he gets enough sleep and combined with a few other symptoms and a family history I worried that he might be diabetic.  So I asked him to try the low-carb thing for 2 weeks and see if his energy improved.  He agreed, but I secretly wondered how much effort he was going to put into it.  To my surprise he has been a champ!  He is constantly asking me if he can eat a particular food or what he should snack on.  We are on day 3 so the majority of the cravings are gone and he is seeing results.  He has lost 7 pounds and I have lost 6.  Now if I can only get him to exercise………
