Default My husband threw me for a loop this morning.

This morning while we were getting ready to go to Bismarck. I told my husband that I think I might get to my 130 pound lost this weekend if not 131. He looked at me and said first I gained weight and just kept going up and up and now tht I have the surgery that I am going down and down and before you know it there will be nothing left of you, and that I was going to die from being to skinny. I have no idea where that came from and really threw me for a loop. I told him that I am far from being skinny that I have a ways to go yet and that is why I have blood tests so often to make sure I am getting all in that I am suppose to and that my blood tests will show me if there is something wrong. I told him that our daughter Sahlenia, had it done to and that she is more or less at a stand still and she is happy where she is, but would like about 18 more pounds off and she said it looks like her body wants to stay where it is at becasue she is not losing anything for quit awhile now. I told him that I feel the best now than I have in so many years and I know he is very proud of me for what I have accomplished so far. He knows my goal is to get down to about 160 pounds. So I know I need to get to about 180 pounds and the rest of it is skin which I want off once I am at around 180 pounds.
But why does he think that I am going to die if I get to skinny, I mean first he was so worried that I was soo heavy with lots of health problems and now he is worried that I am going to shrink down to nothing and blow away. I try to reassure him that I am healthy and I feel great and he enjoys it now that I can do things with him now which I could not before.
Like I said that comment threw me for a loop!!!!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

(((((HUGS)))))
Even if you don't see it that way, he sees you melting away. You know, you've already lost one whole person's worth in weight. No wonder he's bewildered right at the moment. I'm sure he'll settle soon enough.
In the meanwhile, tell him the Doc on board said, "Don't worry , your wife won't die from being too skinny, rather, you'll have a wonderful new and young wife for the price of one, and you ain't done no cheatin' about it, either."

You're funny Doc! I love that!..."ain't done no cheating"...! I'll say it again...what would we do with out you??? I would love to meet you some day! Just give you a big ol hug!

Kitty, how much your hubby loves you keeps shinning through - I think some times men say things backwards - meant to be a compliment - I also think that the thinner you get they/he start to have teny tiny insecurities about how they look and it comes out in off comments...'if you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife'...who knows that song??

all he sees is you getting smaller & smaller...my DDH is worried about me now too...says it's time to stop, he's starting to see my bones sticking out...he said he was worried about me being anorexic (like I could EVER be without my favorite thing in life...FOOOOOD!!!) ....the thing they forget is HOW we were CERTAIN of a shorter life when we were over weight....

You look fantastic...and you've done really good....if they didn't love us, they wouldn't worry....like Doc said, I'm sure he'll settle in...

I think it was a backwards compliment, like Denise said! Men are funny, but he's just worried about you! Tell him to just sit back and enjoy the view!

We cant just blame the men here ladies. I watched my little brother lose alot of weight about 5 years ago and I made the same comment to him! My hubby hasnt said anything like this to me yet Kitty. Im not sure he would unless I do get to little but you need to know that me and Mike have only been together 6 years versus your lifetime with your hubby. Hes probally seeing you like he never has before. He will adjust. They truly ride this rollercoaster with us without us realizing it somtimes. Good luck with this one.

I think part of it is that we worry about our loved ones no matter what. To heavy to thin, not enough excersize, depressed all that stuff. We just worry about them and they worry about us I think its nature..
