So, we are pretty much finished packing...the house didn't sell at auction, so if we move now, the bank doesn't have to give us any money for moving assistance, they can say the house was abandoned. But if we wait, they will give us $3500. So, now we wait...

Last night I went shopping, I'm swimming in most of my clothes now, so it was nice getting something that fits! I bought a jacked that is 2 sizes too small, as an incentive to keep working out. My husband said "I don't think you can lose that much weight." I was crushed. I cried and cried. I couldn't believe he could say something so mean! I'm still upset with him.

I got up extra early this morning, I was at the gym by 5, and worked out for an hour before leaving for work. I dislocated my shoulder the other day, and it's been hurting longer than normal, so I'm getting a massage after work, during my normal workout time.

That must be tough living in limbo, not knowing when you will be moving. But it will definitely be worth for the financial assistence. I don' know why your husband made his unkind remark (I know you WILL lose that much weight... AND MORE!) but people can be funny when it comes to weight loss. Significant weight loss changes the dynamics of all your relationships and some people feel threatened by it. Maybe your husband is afraid you won't find HIM as attractive once you are slimmer or he could be afraid of other men finding you more attractive. Either way, it is probably stemming from an insecurity in him rather than a doubt in you so try not to take it too personally. You will prove him wrong, though. Take care of your shoulder and enjoy your massage. Have a beautiful day!

You've been doing so great with your weight loss, keep having that postive can do attitude. It is discouraging when we hear a comment like that. But, keep moving forward as you have! We all know you can do it and your record over the past few months proves your committment to it. I know all your housing stuff will work out. Remember when it starts to stress you out do something helpful to take your mind off it- a walk, prayer, etc and keep saying "I will not worry about this!" to your worrisome thoughts until they subside. We're all rooting for you!

I'm trying to look at house not selling in a positive way...while we wait, we don't have to pay rent, which gives us time to add to our savings... I talked to Ryan today, and let him know that his comment really hurt me. He said he wasn't trying to be mean, it just came out wrong. Oh well. I think part of the reason I was upset was because he's never said anything about my weight before, and because I'm having my "uninvited guest" right now.
