great news about your volunteering ..it can be such a boost of morale to get out of the house and do something other than kids, laundry etc....I fully understand the weight thing..I had lost 30 # last year..well of course when everyone found out about h and I they again assumed it was from that..not I need to lose about 20 more to be at the 140 I was when I got married. Everyone says I look good now, but I know what the scale says..
Keep hanging in there..I think you h has come along way just in the past month. He just does not express himslf with words..so look at the ways he does.
We can be so caught up in what we think they should say, do, that we miss what really is important.
