  • He finally gets it

    Two weeks ago, my husband decided to quit smoking. I was beside myself with joy and he is doing fantastic.

    We had a conversation this week that finally made my weight loss issue click for him. He came home and told me that everywhere he goes (he's a trucker)...the guys he used to smoke with are treating him like a freak cause he doesn't smoke with them anymore. He said they know he quit, and they still ask him if he wants a cig and they will make dumb remarks about smokers vs non-smokers.

    I listened then...I told him, yeah thats how I feel when you ask me if I want a candy bar or try to get me to take a bite of food that you know I no longer eat. He thought about it and then he said he was sorry. He said he never realized that he was putting me through that and he finally understands.

    Hallelujah!!

    What a fantastic way for you to drive the point home, Becky! I'm glad he gets it!

    Congrats to him, too, by the way! Becoming a non-smoker is a HUGE deal!!

          Aw. I'm sorry to hear he's going through that now. {{{mr dream of}}} At the same time, it's nice to have someone who empathizes with your plight when it comes to this way of eating as regards peer pressure!
