Love and Support
Last Friday I went to see a naturopath so I could get a diet sorted out. I have a lot of difficulty losing weight for a number of reasons and so got allergy/intolerance/sensitivity testing. All in all, it was worth the money I spent (it wasn’t covered by Medicare) and quite enlightening. However, it means that for the next six weeks, I’m on a very restrictive diet. (So I can get back to ‘base’ before I get tested and lose some weight in the mean time as well.)
Last night my husband could feel my frustration at things as I went through the lists I had. Some things were good on one list only to be listed as bad on the other. Not a lot of fun, but I figured out things enough to at least be able to eat for the next few days.
This morning I woke up to an email that said “Welcome to Your New Life” from my husband that was filled with love and support. He let me know that, as always, he is 100% there for me and also reminded me why I’m making these sacrifices (weight loss, confidence, healthy body for children).
I couldn’t help but smile and feel great about what I was doing (even if I did have to eat oats for brekkie…) and what I wanted to accomplish.
As much as he’ll refuse to admit it, my husband can be quite romantic and thoughtful.
What are the most memorable little shows of support and love from your partner for you? What did s/he do and why did it mean a lot to you?

Even though there are many instances of how loving my guy can be, I cannot think of any right now! How crazy is that??
There are those small moments when he just gives me a hug when he knows I’m not feeling well. Or when he stops to get me a juice or something without me asking.
Or like the other day when he actually put the roll of toilet paper ON THE HOLDER ‘cuz he knows it irritates me. lol.
