For Understanding and Taking the Crap

by

candleI was responding to comments the other night and came across Little Miss Fatty’s Pants weight loss blog. While she is struggling a little bit with things right now, she has taken that all-important step of deciding to make her life a better, longer, healthier one.

I was looking through her past posts, and there was one that contained a letter to her boyfriend.

While her letter was a short one, it conveyed the love she has for her boyfriend and the appreciation she has for him looking out for her.

Well, that inspired me to write a thank-you to my husband…

Dear Mr. JM,

I don’t quite know how it is possible to thank you as much as I should for everything you have done for me while I have been on my quest to get healthier in mind and body. All I know is that I do thank you, with all my heart.

Things have been rough on this road for the both of us, and my weight issues have lead to more than one silent night between us. Even so, you stood by me on every good decision I made and helped pick me up after every bad decision. I wish I would have trusted you sooner to know all my secrets, but that’s in the past now.

I still get a bit sensitive about my binges of the past and the wrong choices I made, but I hope you understand now that I only ever get cranky because of my guilt – not because of anything you have done or said.

I’m not quite there yet, to the woman I want to be, but I am closer than I have ever been because of all the support you have given me through good times and bad. I have owed you my life for a few years now, and now I owe you so much more for my happiness, self-confidence and for the love you have shown me.

Be well and know that I will spend the rest of my life showing you how much I love and appreciate you.

Forever yours,

Me

    Beautiful! Sometimes it blows me away that my husband loves me as much as he does. From Day 1!

    Hanlie - Yeah, the best part is knowing he loved me right from the beginning and at my biggest.
