Its not the jeans that make me look fat — its the FAT!!!

Well semi serious — all this week I keep thinking I should be writing up feeling etc in my blog — its just a fabulous way to keep track of where I am an how I am doing.  When I fell off track earlier this year it was an old journal that got me thinking hard again how much I want this new lifestyle to continue.  The other joy is that this time of year actually makes it easier.  All the fabulous fresh fruit and vegetables are so good and its my food of choice for the most part.  I am avoiding refined sugar as much as possible right now.  After my morning during the vacation of eating not one not two but three sugary items I paid for it for almost a week.  I am sure the sugar and carbs wreak havoc with my system and I am just working hard to eat right and stay regular (my blog I don’t mind if I put out TMI)

Now for the good part of life.  Three year ago I was blessed to go online and meet my darling at a site.  We decided to not wait too long for face to face so on July 4, 2004 at a Starbucks near my home this fabulous man walked into my life.  I never knew at the time that my future was forever changed and in the best way possible.  He loves me the way I am but supports my eating and exercising 100%.

 Funny thing this morning I got up to have my shower — then he has his shower. Usually I am finished and headed downstairs before he gets out of the shower. Today I was only half way through my routine and he came back into the bedroom. I asked was he fast or was I slow — he just mumbled silly stuff and I gave it no further thought. So I finish blowdrying my hair and he is still sitting on the bed — I gave him hell and said he could have gone down and got the water ready for tea. He just grinned and said he preferred watching me or something like that LOL. Well we went downstairs and there on the counter were two boxes (he said neither was a ring —old joke — sort of LOL). That sweet darling bought me two totally sweet lovely gifts — crystal humming birds (I LOVE humming birds) and a beautiful glass frame with what I thought were his exact words inscribed on it. Turns out he lucked out and was thrilled with his find. He is so sweet and so kind — I burst into tears.

Again I just wanted to record somewhere else how much I love this man and I am so grateful he loves me as I am and he is so very very supportive of my weightloss and exercise routine.
