Annoyed with Spouse and some Friends

I have been working out nearly everyday for over a month now. I decided I want to have the best success after my surgery, this would be best achieved through exercise and eating right. Recently I started stalling on weight loss. I decided it was time to change the exercises up. I asked my husband whom is physically fit to teach me how to properly lift weights. He said he would do so. However, today he become annoyed with me after I asked him twice "what time were we going to the gym". He behaved as if he was getting dressed twice to go, but he would always end up back in bed playing games on the IPAD.

This hurt my feelings for I felt he is not taking my commitment to health seriously. It is bad enough that he will not be in attendance for my surgery for he will be out to sea (military), but at a minimum I felt he could work out with me from time to time.

I usually give in and not nag him for I always consider how hard his days and nights must be onboard the ship. I never wish to burden him with my problems. Yet, I feel he does not give me the same courtesy.

Then, there is friends whom say they are going to work out with me and do not. I have already figured that this journey will be mines alone. However, the realization does not make me less sad .

Think you need to get a hot guy trainer and see what your hubby says.

Abranewme , Camella and Disco you three ladies made me smile this Sunday evening . Camella I am evil when hungry as well. I can relate. Ladies marriage is a challenge . I love my husband deeply . I know he loves me. But he is just not able to put himself in my shoes . My prayer is that he will change once the weight starts to truly come off. The sentiment that means the most is that you all say I am not alone . Thank you

Girl! I totally understand!!! And yes, you are sooooo not alone! :-) Your husband may or may not understand, and yassssss ma'am! Marriage is work, lol.... but I also know that you will be fine in the knowledge of why YOU did it.... that is the most imprtant thing, after all....... this is for YOU, not for anyone else :-)
