My husband rarely mentions my surgery or my weight loss. Not because he isn't supportive (he is!), but because I think he worries about crossing that invisible line that all women have regarding discussions about their weight. He has never once commented that I look like I've lost weight, but if I mention how much weight I've lost he'll tell me how great it is or how proud of me his is. But he never mentions it on his own.
Well, on Friday night we were at the swimming pool with the boys and we were at the picnic table eating our dinner (Subway, yum!). I mentioned that I could already tell that my bathing suit was fitting differently and how I couldn't wait to buy a new non-fugly bathing suit for next summer. And out of the blue my sweet husband said,

"I can totally tell you're losing weight, honey. I can tell just by looking at you that you're smaller."
*dies*
WHAT?!? Really!?! That just happened? I was GIDDY with excitement and I think I asked him about a dozen times, "Are you serious? Really serious? You're not just trying to make me feel good?!"
And then he said a very typical man-thing. He said, "Yeah, totally. Your butt doesn't look as big as it did six weeks ago."
*face palm*
Well, I'll take compliments any way I can get 'em, I suppose. Especially from him. Because looking good to him is really important to me. I know he loves me at any size, but it'd be nice to have my husband think I look hot, kwim?
So, yay for my first hubby NSV!
YAY!

ReplyDeleteYour hubby and mine must be related. I know Jason is supportive of me, but until recently he never mentioned it. One day he was giving me a hug and he told me he could tell I was getting smaller. What a great feeling! Congrats to you and to hubby for being a good guy!
ReplyDeleteYYAYYY!!!! Fantastic! Congrats on your NSV!
ReplyDeleteThat is great! My hubby doesn't mention it either...even though I've lost 2 sizes since he left for training in May! And I'm so with you on knowing I'm loved but wanting him to think I'm hot, too!
