And as mush as I think I'm there, I've a long way to go. Though some people have said the same to me. Recently with hubby out of work and healing from a knee surgery things have been rough to say the least, and people keep telling me "I don't know how you do it all" and the truth is sometimes I don't. I've been crumbling. And then they say, "Yeah, but you keep getting back up". It's funny how you admire someone for the very thing others admire in you.<br /><br />I'm glad this co-worker of yours found the courage to ask, he is so ready. It begins in the mind and creeps out to the body. Maybe, and maybe this is just a girl thing, maybe you could take a sampling of the tasty treats your wife makes so that he could taste that losing weight doesn't have to be bland. I know you often take treats to work to share, maybe they don't make it to the other floors.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15206731358532834041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-49680257601111480502013-10-24T10:39:26.901-04:002013-10-24T10:39:26.901-04:00What a heartwarming story!

We take turns cooking, and she has no need to watch her weight...quite the opposite, in fact. I can't make them eat what we should, so I'm cooking like I used to also. So, as soon as they leave and we can quit eating like early 20th century farmhands, we're back on the plan. You guys inspire me to keep working on it, even when I've put back on quite a bit...at least I'm not back where I started.Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16296750630075402269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-73508949713129721872013-10-24T10:38:58.320-04:002013-10-24T10:38:58.320-04:00Great post, Mr.!

I think sometimes people think it might be rude for them to bring up weight loss, because then they're implying you were heavier, but I am always flattered. I am struggling with my last 30 pounds, and it seems like it will never happen. But, I've learned it's better to maintain than gain, so that's something.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199434860797642670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-90415987576472745052013-10-24T09:27:43.278-04:002013-10-24T09:27:43.278-04:00Wow, what a great story!

Otherwise there aren't many role models for me in terms of weight loss.
