Progress with the Husband.

Yesterday's counseling session with the husband was especially productive, and I feel like we made some progress. The issues that we are having still exist, but I think that we took great steps in the right direction of understanding our problems with communication. Overall I am pretty encouraged that we can go forward with starting to resolve some of the problems we have... hopefully we will eventually get to a point where he can be honest with me about his fears so it doesn't seem like he is against my weight loss.

We went out to dinner afterwards to take a break from eating at home (more for him than me), and I made great choices with small portions of decent foods. In the past if we go out after a late therapy session it might not have been so moderate.

He has today off from work, and we are running a bunch of errands together. Trying to just spend time together... in the presence of one another, but outside of the battleground which is our house. I will try to update tonight, or tomorrow morning how everything goes. Hopefully we can talk some more, have a few laughs, make good food choices...

Glad things are going better with hubby. It's a process for sure, men just don't talk about their fears as easily as women. I know with my hubby he just gets all moody and grouchy with us all, eventually he comes out with what is bothering him but sometimes it takes a few days to a week. men lol. Hope you two have a good day.

Excellent - that is such great, positive news. Sometimes I think the very act of you both admitting there's an issue and attempting to look at it is enough to get the ball rolling in the right direction. Enjoy your time out together tomorrow.

*high bloody fives* to progress.

Kudos on good choices. *jealous* I did not make any when I went out for lunch this week...

Sounding really positive, hope it lasts!
