Well...it was a little disappointing, I actually teared up. Inside I knew, but I figured...I'll ask anyway, it IS a great idea. So I asked my BF of 6 yrs if he wanted to go on a diet with me. He kinda chuckled and I made light of it by saying..."just for a month"...though I know it's a lifestyle change for me. He starts off by saying "are you trying to say I'm fat?". Which he is, even though he's "comfortable" in HIS skin. I replied "NO...I figured I'd ask so you won't think I "left you out" when I am eating healthy." So then he says...and I knew it was coming..."Oh baby, you know I love you JUST THE WAY YOU ARE"...Wow...really...I thought we had come far enough in our relationship that he would know when I'm serious. So then the most annoying thing ever came out of his mouth "you just need to go have a good BM"...WHAT???...So now he thinks I'm just in a diet mood because I haven't gone to the bathroom and I feel fat. My final reply was "Soooo...if I go to the bathroom my shoulder won't bother me anymore?" (my shoulder has been hurting me for months now...probably old age lol but I know if I work out I can make it stronger)...and then he shut up. For the rest of the day I sat on the couch reading Chris Powell's Choose More Lose More For Life. He never mentioned it again. I'm NOT going to be discouraged. I'm NOT going to let him change my gym plans. I'm not going to eat anything but what I want when I'm with him. I'll even bring my own food to his house when I spend time with him. Discouraging, Disappointing, & could be Depressing but I'm not going to let it stop me this time. This is MY year!!!
