Good job Todd! Stick with it! Is your wife doing this with you?
Yes. But while she's happy for me and how easily the weight is falling off, and esp happy with the diabetes control she is frustrated that her weight loss is moving at a snails pace - at least comparatively. While she is eating the same food I am, with portion control, and gave up pop, junk, and even drinks her coffees w/o sweeteners...she hasn't bought into eating enough imo. Getting her to eat breakfast has been a real challenge. And she doesn't eat a regular lunch. When I fill in her daily food chart I skip breakfast and lunch and punch in dinner and 'snacks' as she nibbles on what I pack her throughout the day often bringing home what she doesn't eat. I'm trying to get her to 'stoke the fires' so to speak by eating the right things at the right time. She's vowed to do breakfast with me for the next two weeks to see if that makes a difference. I think it will.
Got to get her moving more as well. She needs to be motivated by me though, and I usually limp home, sleep erratically and have nothing to give in the way of 'let's for a walk' or 'xyz'...things to work on.
It's only been a month and she might just have to accept that it might take her years to obtain her goals. I try and tell her to be patient. In a year, a pound a week is 50lbs...that she'll get there. And that she shouldn't measure her success against mine. It's a process. But we're in it for the long haul.
