My Enabler

I do not know how many of you have been on diet programs, but the "almost" first thing they say is "find a buddy."  There is just something about struggling through this taxing time if you have someone to commiserate, er, joyfully get healthy with.  You can lift the spirits and help keep that person on track and they (hopefully) reciprocate.  Being accountable to someone/something is critical for weight loss.  Now, no sending hate mail.  I do realize there are some highly abnormal people out there who can do it alone...and quite frankly I and the rest of the fat world are in awe of you!  BUT, for me.... I NEED A BUDDY!!!!

So let me share a dialogue Hubby and I had last night.

Me: after this weekend I need to get back on track...no excuses.

Hubby:  Why don't you wait till your studies are all done.  (not a question; a statement!)

Me: Uh, I want to lose weight before graduation, not after.

Hubby: You think it will show under your robe?

Me: It will show in my face.  Plus, I won't be wearing my robe all weekend!!!

Hubby: (smile)

Okay Weight Loss Class 101:  What's wrong with this picture?????
