I am dedicating this post to my husband. He is the first person I turn to for encouragement, laughter, and most of all love. I couldn't imagine the past 8 years without him.
Since March, I have fully committed to going to the gym at least 3 times a week. I am still working on eating better but I have already seen results. ( Lost 14 pounds officially today!) This summer has been the hardest in my journey of weight loss because Devin is not changing his eating habits so I tend to WANT the same yummy foods he orders.
I have given in at times and controlled myself at others. The past month my mind has played games with me and it literally ate me alive. Devin, along with some friends, helped me overcome my mental setback.
Ok, so I told myself awhile ago that I could not wear shortie shorts anymore nor would I be able to wear a bikini. ( I pretty much convinced myself it's a part of aging so I needed to just get over it.) When Devin and I went to Sanibel, FL last weekend he convinced me to try on a bikini. I did and I looked better than I thought I was going to.
A few weeks ago we went to the mall and I tried on shorts, but hesitated on buying them. We went back yesterday and the size I wanted fit. I was ecstatic. I wore them today and felt very good and proud.
Sooooo Devin I thank you for reminding me that I am still beautiful no matter what the scale says. Thank you for reminding me I can wear certain clothing items and feel good about my accomplishments even if I don't have a six pack. Most of all, thank you for loving me through all of my faults, good and bad, and not rolling your eyes when I have a "girl" moment and obsess over my body and weight. You are truly the best husband any girl could ask for.
