My FAT husband??! WTF!
Ok, a little back-story….
As I was losing weight, I would give myself little “pep talks”… you know, tell myself how much BETTER I looked, how skinny I was getting, etc. Even though I knew I was NOT skinny, it’s just a little positive self-talk, you know?? 
So anyway, around 160, I asked my husband what he thought of me now that I was “getting skinny”. He said, “Yeah, you’ll be skinny when you weigh at least one pound less than ME!”
I NEVER used to think in terms of who is skinny, who is fat, who looks better than who…. BUT after I gained my weight, I just began thinking of myself as FAT, and my husband as skinny, and I even let it trickle down to other people, other family members. Like, I had to categorize people. 
And I was always the fattest fat person. My husband is a SHORTY, about 5′7 or 5′8 (in between) and he has always weighed in the 130’s. He’s super skinny, and comes from a family of super-skinny people.
Well, he’s gained a little weight recently!! One day, he woke up and was getting dressed for work, and as he was pulling his pants up, he walked out of the bedroom. I was like… WHAT are you DOING?? And he came back into the room red-faced, and admitted he couldn’t button his pants!! LOLOL Now, normally I would never laugh at a person who couldn’t button their pants, but considering the context, you have to admit you’d probably laugh at him too, right?? 
Anyway, he weighed himself, and he was right at 140. He went out and bought some new pants last night, and…. one pair of them was just lying on the couch today. I was cleaning the house in a pair of shorts and a T-shirt, and I just WONDERED how those pants would fit ME, the FAT one?? I picked them, pulled them on, and when I realized they felt a little BIG, I pulled them up over my shorts, buttoned and zipped them. Wow!!!!!!
This is BIG, not because I can wear his pants (haha) and make fun of him. LOL But…. after I categorized everyone, he was really a SKINNY skinny person on my list. And even though he’s gained 5 lbs or so…. you know, it IS true that another person really CAN’T see an extra 5 lbs on you. (I always thought my boyfriends were LYING their @sses off back in the day when I would worry and fret over a 5 lb gain.) So, now I’m seeing myself as maybe NOT fat. Still, I’m not skinny; my husband is a shorty, but he still has a few inches on me, so he looks much skinnier at 140 than I do at 145. BUT I can see the rainbow now, instead of just the rainclouds. I feel really positive and hopeful again! 
I feel like, while I still have LOTS of toning to do, maybe someday THIS YEAR I will be looking FIT and FABULOUS again. I’m soooo ready to work out now!!

Totally awesome!! You are not the fat girl anymore . . . that is fabulous!!
LMAO!!!! I would totally laugh
Serves him right. Just goes to show…bad behavior DOES come back to haunt you :D.
hehe, I would laugh…
Cool that his pants are BIG on you!
It is awesome how your perception has changed.
I’m pretty sure they’re loose on him too, but still! He has a FLAT belly, with just a little “pooch” at the bottom from all that CRAP he eats.
So it does feel ever so good to be able to get his pants even over my butt. Maybe next month, I’ll go put on the ones he grew out of and wear them around the house! LOL 
Hey girl, just keep up the work, and I’m glad you are feeling a little better. My husband has always been about 70 lbs more than me, but he’s always made me feel fat. I’m now at 198 which is SO far away from my goal, but I know I’m headed there. My sister is 105 lbs and I wouldn’t ever want to be that small, but I just don’t want to look like the whale sister ya know. Out of 5 of us sisters I am 4th fattest! They’re 105, 125, 140, me, and 220 lbs. It doesn’t usually bother me, but my 10 yr older, and 140 lb sister is the one who makes me feel like your hubby does you so maybe one day I can say her pants are too big for me! She wears a size 11/12 and I’m in a 12/14 so maybe one day sooner rather than later! Thank God I have 4 1/2 inches on her! congrats girlie!
I’ll never forget the time my man put on a pair of my jeans and they were too big on him. It was by accident they ended up in his closet but talk about humiliating for me.
And a quick hi to you! I used to live in PB. Now I am just north of you!
OMG! I would so laugh at him!! it’s not like he gained 40lbs over night, but those people that are naturally skinny just do not understand what it is like for us! I categorize too. I’m really close with my girl cousins. There are 5 of us that are very close in age and I’m the big one! Not only am I the fattest, I’m also the shortest, so I look even fatter! My goal is not to be the fattest anymore (can’t do anything about the short thing) without my cousins gaining weight!
hahaha thats awseome girl u r on ur way
That is awesome! You have come so far! YAY! Motivating for me who still has so far to go
