I went on an ice fishing trip this weekend and struggled to stay on my diet the whole time. There were cookies, mouth watering muffins at breakfast, and chips everywhere. I managed to stay strong all weekend. I also quit smoking 5 weeks ago and have been battling cravings for cigarettes as well. I had a beautiful weekend, though many times I nearly cheated or lost my patience with this abstinence from both nicotine and sugar.

Sometime during the three hour ride home, my boyfriend was chomping away at a bag of Reese Pieces, he leans over and offers me some. I am like "Tom, quit sabotaging me. Do you really want a fat girlfriend?". He looks at me and says "I dont care if she's fat, I just want her to be happy."

This guy is worth a million bucks.

Wow, sounds like a nice guy!! your lucky.......Nice pics too, keep up the hard work, you sound like you are doing great!!!!!!!! Gina

What a keeper!

He sounds adorable and very worthy of you.

What a sweetie!!

awwwww... what a sweety!! That was definitely wicked sweet, but I'm guessing he doesn't understand how much you want to lose weight. Maybe explain to him that you really appreciate what he said, but you want to lose weight and it is so hard with all of the tempations around! I know if my BF were to say that to me I'd use it as a green light to grab that bag of reeses and finish them off... (that's just me, though) Do you live in Portland? I used to go up there all of the time - my dad grew up in Falmouth! I miss it up there!

I quit smoking in Dec. and started Atkins in January--I feel your pain!!

I live in the Woodfords area of Portland and love it. I go to Boston every couple months to visit friends.

I know. It can be really hard to control myself around him when he is chomping away on pizza, chips, or whatever. He has done Atkins before so he understands the plan. Whenever he makes us dinner, he makes me a low carb version of it. He really is quite supportive and its so appreciated. I felt like I needed to brag about him. I hope you all have supportive partners too!

Had to laugh at myself. After reading the title of your post, I thought the "bf" was something to do with body fat. Boy Friend never even entered my mind! Gawd, I need to think of something besides weight.

Great job on resisting temptation! That'll pay off in the end!!

I have a great husband like that, he's a keeper!

Good for you resisting the crappy food!!

awwwwwwwwwww! that is SOOOOO sweet of him to say that (even if it didn't move your iron will!) you are truly lucky to have someone who loves you unconditionally.
