The 'he' here refers to the lovely man in my life.... -hubby . Chances are i have a fresh recollection of how i looked when we met , and therefore i have a good idea of how he views me right now.Clearly i have added almost 20kgs.The question is not whether he loves me less- with all the sag and butt wag, am sure he loves me as much as he says he does. Rather the issue here is how much does he (really ) like/mind my weightgain?
I know i keep asking him " baby how do i look in this" but if he were to tell me the truth as he sees it - i think that would be a" one way Never return ticket to Hell. :-)"
So ladies why do we ask ? such questions - Have i added weight ? et al when we know the answers to those questions and we would go for his neck if he gave his honest opinion?
Am wondering loudly why we do it - seems most men fall victim to this question . Why do we really ask for an opinion AND are not be willing to hear the answer . He knows this and his answer to " do i look huge in this" is always - " bby are you kidding ? you look hotter than ever ' or " you are forever going ....bla bla bla"
Most of the time we ladies have the answers in our heads so it beats the guys why we ever ask. Although i know there are a few fellows who are bold enough to sugar coat it "thats a perfect weight but dont add a gramme",translation - eee you are on the verge of going overboard or " hey am feeding you well" translation - uuhmm you been eating for three ...etc
Well am pretty sure we know the answers to those questions and our own honest answer is all we need.
It would be a bonus if my hubby loves the way i look , but as long as i love the way i look , then everyone is happy .
So if you feel you wanna loose some pounds , save the fella the trouble , and answer your own rhetorical questions.And do something about your weight if you think you need to .
My motivation should be intrinsic, although i must say theres a thin line between asking and being incessant . Which God help me i hope am not being , where everybody around hubby included may be thinking .. oook so youre going to the gym , kudos but the sun is still yellow and the sky is still blue so GETOVER IT!!!
PS- I was looking for weightloss buddies- will share on that soon - i have three already.
Still going to the gym and so far i am so fit and loving the results.
Mmm! great read! My question still remains, so why do we even ask when we so well know we are not ready for honest feedback? Am i a culprit of this? Ur bet is as good as mine!
ReplyDeleteResolution! I know what feedback is honest and am gonna give me it! Gal, hit the gym and have some weight off your tummy and your bum too! Oooh! did I forget the rounded face you’ve been wearing lately? Yes, that too! Think am glad I have looked into the mirror and seen what needs to be mended, am a work in progress and the results will soon be evident. Am gyming and like Wambui, I can feel, not see as yet, the difference! Four weeks down in the gym and am glad.
Thanks girlfriend for your read that I run to every time and again just to remind myself of my agenda and weight loss.
… a luta continua.
