Thankful Nov 22nd

I am thankful today for my very supportive husband. We have been married for over 23 yrs. He is ALWAYS supportive of what I am doing. When it was wanting a tiny little Fiat Spyder convertable he said, "go ahead". When I wanted to go look at Long arms at a local convention, he not only went with me, he encouraged me to get the best one and start a business, something I had been wanting a long time. Every single time I have started a diet, (and there have been lots of them)....he has been supportive. Yesterday, there were two parties he attended. These were not family get togethers, these were football watching, beer guzzling, snack eating parties. He wanted me to go too. I begged off and he seemed hurt at first. This morning I started to explain and he stopped me and said he understood. I am really serious about losing weight and I know that if I go to a party with lots of food and beer (I'm a beer drinker) I would be weak and start eating or drinking or maybe I wouldn't but I didn't want to chance it. I am thinking about myself first for a change and he gets that. He supports my decision all the way. I love him so much and I can always count on him to support me in my decisions. I think that is pretty special and I am blessed.
