A few years back, I was having a lot of problems. Mostly mentally,had a break down, was taking medication (too much for sure). I started gaining weight at a rapid pace. I jumped from being a size 9 all the way up to a 22. It was horrible, embarassing, uncomfortable, there are no words to express how I felt about myself at that time.
We had gone out one night to a very public place (mostly families) I can't go into detail about the place, to protect others. Anyway, many many people were moving about. A man who had had differences with me and my husband over rules and regulations invovling children, at this place, walked over to my over 6"plus, COWBOY-MAN-HUSBAND. And asked him a question as to why I was so FAT? In a split second, he was on his feet and had this guy by the throat,?????, I know, I was shocked too!! OMGosh!!! It took 3 people to pull him off the guy. I did not happen to be in the area at the time, and thank goodness because it would have crushed me! A comment like that was the last thing I needed to endure at that time in my live. Everyone close to us never came to me and said one word about it. I consider that loving and kind. He told me about it several years later. I can't tell you how much my love for that man grew at that moment. HE said "Baby, I am not going to let anyone talk about you like that without taking him down". HEis not a violent person, but dang, don't be talkin about his woman!!!!!
My point being, I would hate to see how he would react if some "friend" asked him if he wanted to swap? OMGosh!!!!
Oh, being on HEathers diet for several years has brought my weight back down to a size 14. Yayyyyyyyy. I feel much better about myself now. I hope I can continue to loose more weight, my dr. gave me a hard time last week to get out and exercise. I told him I would.....ahem, I will as soon as it quits raining.
