My hubby is so sweet!

I know our hubbies/boyfriends take a lot of grief from us sometimes, but I just had to write a blog today to tell you how great my husband really is.  I’ve told you before he’s never told me I’m fat, in fact, always disagreed with me.  He would sometimes say “You can lose a few pounds if you want to, but you don’t have to because you’re not fat..”  He really is the best…of course this is the same man who brings home Oreo Klondike bars LOL Well, this morning I got on the scale for my weigh-in and almost cried- it was 2 pounds up from last week.  I thought surely I had lost 1 pound this week.  Well, he wasn’t awake yet, so I got dressed and started doing my workout.  A little while later, he came out and said something, I can’t even remember what it was, but it caused me to say something back about the scale.  He asked me what it said, and I told him (this is all while I’m walking w/Leslie Sansone!)  and he comes over, makes me stop walking, and gives me a big hug..he said “I love you just the way you are- it doesn’t matter what the scale says.” Ok, I just about lost it right then and there, but I held it together and just hugged him back.  Then, like the genius that he is, he says as he’s walking away “Maybe it’s TOM- don’t you always gain a few pounds then?  I bet that’s it.” Well, if I hadn’t been doing side steps I would have kissed him! :) Sure enough, he was right, and my thought is that since I usually gain 3 pounds during TOM, I was probably at my goal weight for the week, and it just isn’t showing up right now. 

 So, needless to say, I just want to brag on my hubby a little today.  He always knows how to make me feel good about myself- calling me sexy when I know I’m not,  and last night he tells me “You know on Black Friday when people get in line for sales at 1am?  Well, I would stay in one of those lines to get a hug from you” I know what you’re thinking- but there was no alterior motive here- he just wanted a hug!  So, while they may not always understand us, and they may even try to sabotage us sometimes, they do still love us, and love us just the way we are, and you can’t ask for more than that!!

    No, you can’t ask for more than that ! What a sweetie ! Husbands don’t always understand us but, I think they have a little bit of a clue as to what’s going on ! My hubby is like yours ! It is very nice to find someone who loves you just the way you are ! Hugs, Kimmi

    Awww, give him a hug for me too :) I had a great experience with my boyfriend last night; he worked out with me because I didn’t want to work out, and he always tells me I am perfect the way I am. Hold on to the good ones!

    Super-sweet! Mine just don’t care. I once asked him when we just got married if he’d like me less if I gained 20 lbs, he said no. And he didn’t. On the downside, he doesn’t really show any interest in my current campaign. :)
