I had my physical last Thursday and did the blood work Friday morning, after a 12 hour fast. The results? Everything is perfectly normal. After consulting with my weight loss board, I adjusted my calorie range and am no longer eating my workout calories. Hopefully that will fix the non-weight loss issue.
This showed up on my Facebook newsfeed. I've noticed an epidemic of divorces on my board and was beginning to wonder what the connection is between weight loss and relationships falling apart. A discussion with a friend brought out a great analogy: the person who is losing weight is shifting her priorities. If her spouse's priorities don't shift too, eventually they diverge, hitting a fork in the road. This doesn't happen in all relationships, but seems to happen in a lot of them. I don't think it's necessary for both spouses to be working on losing weight, but the spouse needs to be supportive, both spouses need to communicate, and they need to maintain their connection in other areas. I wish my husband was working out too, but it's not a priority to him right now. He is incredibly supportive though, we talk about everything, and we still spend time together doing other things. This trend is something to be aware for sure. How are you safeguarding your marriage?
