[I Can't Belive I Became Her]

I remember I told myself before we got married that I was never going to be [that wife] the one who wears the grey sweat pants, messy over sized t-shirts, unshaved legs and no makeup and hair pulled back in a ponytail. one day as I was dropping my husband off to work. You see normally I do not drop him off, he takes public transit because he enjoys a life without traffic stress. He is a simple, happy, positive man and lives life however suits him without stress.

As I dropped him off and kissed him goodbye, I glanced in my mirror ... As I realised my reflection ... I asked myself ... What Happened? Where did I go?

It was not ME looking back! I was in fact that doubty wife, in grey sweat pants, messy over sized t-shirts, unshaved legs and no makeup and hair pulled back in a ponytail.

I was extremely disappointed that I let myself become what I told myself I never wanted to be.

That night I asked my husband to be honest with me, he has ALWAYS been 100% honest even when I don't want him to be ... he is.

So I knew if I asked him he would tell me the truth. So I asked him:

"Have I changed?"
He said:
"yes, you have".
I asked him:
"how have I changed in your eyes?"
He said:
"well your not your bright, happy self as much"
I was like: "I know."
and then I asked him:
"how else have I changed .. you know have you noticed I put on allot of poundage"
He said:
"yes, but when we got married you were too skinny, you need to find a medium."
Then he said the most amazing words:
"I don't care what the scale says, I just want you to be happy and confident and healthy"
I hugged him and then said...
"I've got a pot-belly"
and he said:
"yeah you do".

I love the fact that I can be 100% honest with my husband, he's great and I love him!! We have been together for 11 years and will have been married 3 years this coming spring.From that conversation and realisation in the car I was ready to start my quest!!
