My ego has been crushed------by my DH!!!!!!

Beautifully said Ajock!!


Wendy...Ajock is right. Many of us do not "look" like we work out. But you what? We are healthier for it, our quality of life is better than those who do not work out, and, like Ajock said, we get a certain inner empowerment. Our self esteem goes up. The only reason you feel bad is because you are tying your self esteem purely to how you look now. Look at what you have accomplished!! It is amazing! To go from being unfit and overweight and not really exercising to losing weight and doing CATHE is a wonderful achievment. Most people will never get off the couch!!

Don't forget, people sometimes get jealous. They look at what you have accomplished and wish they could have the discipline to do the same. Instead of complimenting, they tear down. Maybe this is what your DH is doing oh-so-innocently. I am not bashing him, but I would bet that he doesn't feel that cool about himself physically or emotionally.

My DH loves me to death and honestly, he is probably in the smart category being that he would have a different reply even if it was a lie :), but believe me, he doesn't mind at all when I miss a few workouts because it makes him feel better for being lazy....


It is the American way...:)


Don't feel bad. Instead, look at how exercise makes you FEEL and not how it makes you LOOK. You have accomplished alot and should be very proud!! Congrats on your weight loss!!
 
haven't you ever noticed, most men don't elaborate on any questions they are asked, most of the time its just a straight answer, thats how men are.......
and it probably never crosses their minds that they might be hurting anyones feelings with their answer, thats just how they think lol.... Rhonda
 
Wendy,
When you live with a person every day, day in and day out, that person can't see the changes in you so easily. For instance, did you perhaps see someone recently that you haven't seen for quite some time? They would certainly notice a big change in the way you look. They would ewww and ahhhhh. So do that and get your ego back in check. It's important that you see what your doing is healthy and good for you. Guys, you can't live with them and you can't live without them.

MILF is NOT a term to be used in public.

It is a term used in porn to describe mature women who look good.

It means "Mom I'd Like to "F**K"

There are porn magazines dedicated to MILFs. "OVer 40" is an example. It is a MILF magazine.

And I know what I'm talking about here.......
