Family wedding last night. I felt amazing - have lost about 100 pounds and was having the time of my life.

Saw an aunt I haven't seen since the start of my journey. She tells me I look amazing, then asks if she can ask a personal question...

"Is your husband going to have the surgery, too? I'm afraid he'll have a heart attack"

Seriously????? Yes, he's a big man, but he's also a big boy and capable of making his own decisions. Such a downer to our night.

Would I like him to lose weight for his health? Absolutely. But he is fully aware of the surgery and what goes into it. It's ultimately his decision. I love and support him regardless.

Grrr

As I guy, I'll say this, she told you or "warned you" to be a personal question, so there is nothing to be mad about ... She's family and we all know that being Fat and obesity isn't good for you health,.. Isnt like she didnt said that for the none-obvious

I'd say that mostly the guys we're way behind on thoughts.... From the Ladies, He needs to see the reality, show him the new him if could loose all the extra weight, show him guys videos before and after, as he has been "supporting you", you have to motivate him.

I think that we're raised to be the Macho man and boys don't cry, boys Don't do girly stuff, Guys do it too and I hope my insurance approves the surgery,... Show him this message: he needs go get on board ... One guy said once: "I wish I could done it, earlier" could save many years struggling with clothes and back pain, no going out with my family, not giving to my woman the complete intimate satisfaction that she deserves, I did understand that, I felt the same way,.. Thats the motivation to look good to my woman, and you can do it too!

look good for you lady, be the man of the house, looking good, feeling good, -and if You really care for you lady! You have to become that man that she loves!

My wife its my world to me and because she told me one time, she wants that man I used to be! I decided to do it you can do it too.

My mom always talks about losing weight and how she's between an eight and a six. She's over 70 so that's great, but she does it after discussing the amount of weight I've lost and that I'm now a sixteen instead of a twenty six, two years ago. I see her once a year so I think she forgets.
