I had a great talk with Jim last night. He has always supported me in my healthy journeys. And he has supported me when I am soooo not on that journey. I have learned after 20 years with him that he loves me no matter how I eat, how much I weigh, or if I exercise or not. He is a great husband in that respect.
After 20 years, he has developed a bit of a belly. (All of my good cooking :) ) He doesn't feel comfortable anymore in his skin...so last night we had the talk....
me: If you counted calories just for a few days, maybe it would be an eye opener in how you are eating.
him: A little Debbie Swiss Roll is 270 calories!!!
me: And being diabetic, eating less carbs will probably make your doctor happy.
him: A sleeve of Ritz cracker is 560 calories..that's not bad.
me: Because you're a man, if you just watched what you ate for like 3 days, you'll probably lose 10 pounds.
him: 243 carbs/day!!!! That is what this website thinks I should have?! This is going to be hard.
me: It always is...at the beginning. But you'll feel much better and healthier very quickly.
So....we'll see how this goes. For the last 5 weeks he has been eating an incredibly healthy dinner, it is just the rest of the meals that need a little work. Plus snack time needs some help...but I am happy to have a partner in my home to do this with and it will make us all feel better :)
He doesn't want to exercise yet, but I am hoping that he will get that bug as well. He has ridden his bike a few times with Nate and I...so maybe.
