Something that made me smile ! ! !

Cross posted from my blog.

A bit of back story.

When John and I met, I was at my heaviest between 265-270. That meant I weighed more than 100 pounds more than he did, and he didn't care. He loved me regardless of my pant size, or what the scale read. I was never one to hide my weight from him even when we were just dating. I wasn't happy at that weight, but I was happy that he loved me for me.

Today, I now weigh about 30lbs less than he does. When he deployed mid-March, I still weighed 100lbs more than he did. He worked out, strength training mainly, and bulked up a bit. I dropped a bunch of weight, and it's like a new found adventure for us. For the first time in my entire life, my husband can carry me. He did it when he first came home, but I made him put me down really quickly. He can hoist my "tiny hiney" (his words) up in his arms, and carry me around the house.

I'll admit, I was still scared of 'hurting' him. But, not anymore ! ! !

I, by no means, have a perfect body, and I have my flaws, but for me this picture is priceless even with the little bulge of my thigh ! ! !

AWESOME, Tiff! You guys remind me of my and my husband. We've been married 21 years, and it only gets better each day! We are very blessed to have found a partner who loves us for the person we are, and they are lucky to have found such great wifes too!

You truly are my inspiration! Your story is the best, and I know you've worked hard to make this a true success!

WAY TO GO!

I am so happy for you! I have been reading your posts and you are truly inspiring to me. I am in the first steps of the VSG surgery process and my husband is still skeptical about it. He just smiled when I showed him your pics. He hasn't been able to hold me for over a decade... at least I haven't let him try. I am so excited about finally making this decision and can't wait to start my new life. God bless you for being such a blessing to us that are about to start our journey. Thanks for making me smile! :-)
