Where is my husband and what have you done to him?

(Before anyone asks any questions or has any negative thoughts about my sensitivity, he ok'd this post :)


When I first met my husband, he looked like this:


In the months preceding our wedding, Jimmy and I were under an immense amount of stress. We both deal with stress in different ways. I completely lose my appetite and Jimmy... well... he just doesn't. By the time our wedding rolled around, I was unhealthily thin and he was at his heaviest.



A few months after we got married, he entered the Police Academy and lost about 35 pounds.


After Academy, he was obviously in his patrol car for 12 hours a day and the weight began to creep up. Not as much as during our wedding, but he definitely wasn't where he wanted to be.


Since he has been working nights in our current city, his weight has come back down again, but the difference is that this time, he wants to work to keep it off.

Case in point: Today at Chic-Fil-A, Jimmy actually ordered this:


This is opposed to the Chic-Fil-A sandwich meal with a large fry and large sweet tea in addition to an order 12 nuggets on the side. He'll also finish whatever nuggets I don't eat, which is about 4 or so. I almost FELL OVER when he ordered a salad today. This is coming from the same guy who could eat 2 Jersey Mike's subs back in high school.

Then, for dinner tonight, he made a steak salad and drank water!


Right now, he is looking soooo great and I am so proud of him! He has gone from a 44 inch waist to a 38 inch WITH room to spare!! I know it isn't easy to watch what you eat, but I think he is committed and he knows it is for his own health. Yaaay for my BB!!!!!
