    Thank God for the board...

    Hey guys...Just a note to say thank God for this board. I am feeling really low because the weight is just not coming off as fast as I would like, and my BF of 9 months is sooooo closed about his feelings that I dont know if he cares or not. I normally would have opened a bottle of wine and made a HUGE bowl of pasta so I could have a pity party for myself...but I didnt...I got on the computer and had me some dee-licious cheese and salad with oil and soy sauce homade dressing. Thanks for being there!

    girl you are BEE-U-TEE-FUL!!! whaddya mean he is closed about his feelings? always remember to do this for YOU...sounds like you made that choice when you chose the healthy meal over the other....DO THIS FOR YOURSELF!!! YOU ARE WORTH IT!

      I am doing this for me. He just never says that he loves me unless I tell him first...never tells me I am beautiful ( I know, I'm a big baby) but those are things I need to hear. We have a long distance relationship and that already makes things hard, but workable. He doesnt understand Atkins and I think he is more concerned because we don't eat the same foods...he is super skinny...That is not enough to make me give up because I know this works...just wish (right now) that it would go faster...Thanks...

        you are not a big baby...you are a girl and we are just wired that way! we all need to hear that....alot! i did long distance with my fiance for a few months...boy was that hard! sounds like he needs a good thick steak! how far away is he? i know that is difficult and in that case, communication is really important. sometimes those fellas just need a little bonk on the head and need to hear "hey...i need you to tell me so and so.....". mama always said you can't live with'em and you can't live without them.

          he lives 2 hours away. We see each other every weekend. We both are divorced and have joint custody of our kids so every other weekend we are childless and I go to his house from thursday night to monday morning. (I work tuesday to thursday) and when I told him last week that I needed to hear it, he said that maybe he is not right for me because he isnt giving me what I need . Miracle I havent downed a box of chocolates (the kids forgot theirs here!)

            I struggle with that too quekjian. My DH is not the touchy feely, flowery words, romantic kind of guy....and well, as a girl, I WANT him to give compliments and be mushy and stuff. I'm trying to learn to recognize that he DOES express his feelings for me often, just not always in the way I'd like him to express it...and he's learning to express things in a way that I can easily recognize. It's taking work on both sides.

            In the meantime, I've found that coming here for positive reinforcement really helps fill in the gap.

                oh that is a tough one. was he serious when he made that statement? i am not sure i would have known what to say....maybe he just does not know how.....but i hope he is willing! EVERY girl deserves to be told how pretty she is.....ESPECIALLY by her man! keep smiling! you are doing great to take such good care of yourself.

                  Men! The problem with men not telling women they are attractive or loved etc is this... Men are Visual creatures and Woman are Audial -Women like to hear things / be told things -- whereas men figure they dont need to be told these things -- they can SEE that a woman loves them and figures she can SEE that he loves her . So dont stress if your man doesnt say the right things ...he presumes you can see how much he loves you- it doesnt even occur to him that you need to be told. IN the game of physical love -- men get turned on by what they SEE - women get turned on by what they HEAR . I think all men should be told about this principle when they are 13 -- it would certainly make things a lot easier for both men and Women! I had a husband who would tell me he loved me too much ... it drove me nuts to the point where i felt he was smothering me -- I always wondered why he was like that ..wasnt it the woman who was supposed to be like that? Then one day i found out he was GAY - now i understand why he was like that! So if your fella doesnt tell you the things you may want to hear all the time - be happy -- its probably a good thing that he doesnt!( just so long as he shows you by his actions that he loves you!)

                      Wow. I seem to think I'm a rare breed.

                      I can't go more than a few hours without telling my wife I love her! I go through withdrawl sometimes I swear. (haha)

                      guekjian - I know how hard you work at this, I've read your posts, and I know that you mean serious business, it really bothers me that you wouldn't get the support from your BF. Karen, my wife, has been the best about this way of life for me, she's like your BF, skinny, eats whatever she wants, always had, but she has never once complained about how I eat. It's more expensive, buying better cuts of meat, JICAMA (haha) and such, but never complains. You keep your eye on the ball girl, you're doing so well and working so hard....but number one, I'm glad to hear you say, 'I'm doing this for ME'. Because YOU are special, and YOU are beautiful, and NO I'm definately not gay Donna.

                      Haha. Sorry.

                              scooter...YOU KILL ME! i am sure your wife is glad to hear that you are not gay! i must have a ratre breed......he even writes me poetry. i tell my friends he is like my best gal pal and hunky honey man all rolled up into one....and there is not doubt of his uuummm....preference.

                              that being said...i dated LOTS of mighty fine fellas in my single days and i think most of them, for reasons it would take years to discuss, are like q's man. more often than not, our society teaches men to withhold those verbal expressions. but i'd venture to guess miss q that he finds lots of other sweet and wonderful ways to show you he cares.

                              i have a puppy,,,we go to "puppy class" once a week. i am having a heck of a time house breaking her. the trainer told me "she may not go to the door and bark. she might run in circles, pace the floor, sniff around. she will show you OTHER signs of what she is thinking. watch for those signs." maybe men are like puppies....just gotta watch for different signs....(and BTW...i LOVE men!)
