In the past, I have talked to Fred (my husband) about things that would help me in my quest for weight loss. One of the things that helps me is having him work on better eating habits, too. Because he does much of the grocery shopping (I can't thank him enough for that!), the food that is brought into the house is largely determined by him. When he gets hungry for chips, he buys them. He is fortunate enough to be able to eat a few chips and then put them away. Not me! They continue to call my name until all that is left is an empty bag.
Last Tuesday, when I made this decision to eat better, I didn't ask for Fred's help. I decided that I had to be willing to do it for me, by myself, if necessary. I could not wait until he decided to join me. I could not use that as my excuse! In fact, there is no excuse that is good enough to detract me now! Besides that, I do have Fred's support. After only a day or so, he told me that he really wants to work on losing weight, too. So he has been eating better and exercising! I am excited that he has decided to become healthier because he wants to...and it is so helpful to me, too!
