I wonder with those who have supposedly unsupportive OH, when we’re funding this ourselves, for our own health and wellbeing, why would these men think they have a say in how we look after ourselves, or how we spend our own money?
what realistically could they do? Tell us they’re not happy? Surely they are not so fragile that they can’t hear the word “Tough!” They can’t ban us from spending our money on things we want to prioritise.
I was a bit nervous about telling my OH, it crossed my mind that he might be weird about it, no idea why. That of course could have been throwback to previous (abusive) relationship, and a general worry about reactions tho.
my DS initially said “you don’t need that” but I told him that hormones are working against me, that cravings and food noise is overwhelming and I was just getting bigger and bigger and it was out of control. He got it.
since starting, I’m down 14 kg and even DS said how good I was looking and he can see how much happier I am.
i had my first actual person notice I’d lost weight last week. 🥳 I’d not told anyone in the office, and went in for a meeting and one of the managers actually asked me!
I do feel a bit odd replying that I’m cutting calories and moving more… it’s the BS the naturally skinny tell us that this is all we need to do and we all know that it isn’t what works… oh well.
